Get Connected Icon Happens On Jul 29, 2025
Get Connected Icon 8:00am-9:00am
Expired

Description

Sign up today to help keep your favorite park or greenway clean and healthy by picking up litter! A great way to spend an hour FIRST THING IN THE MORNING by getting outdoors and helping in your community.

Park and meet at Cordelia Park, at the address listed here - this is the "upper" parking lot, next to the playground and uphill from the Pavilion. We will clean up in the Park and on Little Sugar Creek Greenway as time permits. 

Below are a few tips and reminders for a SAFE & PRODUCTIVE Volunteer experience:

  • Wear long pants for protection from scratches.
  • Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes – REQUIRED, NO sandals or flip-flops. Wear OLDER shoes that you don’t mind getting dirty, wet or muddy.
  • Bring your own heavy-duty work gloves extras will be available; litter pickers and trash bags are provided.
  • 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 (in a backpack, if possible), to stay hydrated, avoid the need to refill, and to protect the environment from single-use plastic bottles. A water cooler for refilling will be available. 

If you have questions, or if you have a group who would like to help on a different day, please contact the Park & Recreation Volunteer Coordinator at Karen.Howard@MeckNC.gov or 980-314-1046 (office).
