Volunteers support and supplement the work of our dedicated Park Maintenance staff by completing projects that may include spreading mulch, trimming limbs, weeding, trail maintenance, painting, litter cleanup, and other maintenance tasks to enhance the beauty and safety of our Parks, Nature Preserves and Greenways.
*At Mason Wallace Park, dedicated Project Captain and Park Advocate Dave Molinaro will take the lead! Volunteers will collect litter throughout the Park in honor of EARTH DAY! There may be some other Park beautification jobs to "dig" into as well!
THANK YOU for choosing to Volunteer with Park & Recreation! Below are a few tips and reminders for a SAFE & PRODUCTIVE Volunteer experience:
- This is a family-friendly event - anyone under the age of 16 MUST be accompanied by a parent/adult.
- Wear long pants (and long sleeves are suggested), for protection from scratches and/or poison ivy.
- Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes – REQUIRED, NO sandals or flip-flops. Wear OLDER shoes that you don’t mind getting dirty, wet or muddy.
- Wear heavy-duty work gloves – bring your own gloves if you have them.
- Wear a hat and sunscreen for protection from sun exposure; and your preferred bug spray, if needed.
- Bring your own water in a large, refillable water bottle; to stay hydrated, avoid the need to refill, and to protect the environment from single-use plastic bottles.
PARKING: Use the listed address for GPS - after turning into the Park from Monroe Road, immediately turn into the first lot, closest to the street and the baseball field.
