Need Volunteers for a couple of hours to get all of the trash that is in and around the fishing pond. Volunteers of all ages are welcome, but if you're planning on getting into the pond you'll need to dress appropriately. We will need a few volunteers to be ready to get in!

We want this pond to be free from bottles, cans and any litter so that the fish will be happy! Volunteers will be skimming algae from the top of the pond, clearing trash and debris from the island, clearing walkways, painting railings and posts, and clearing trash from the stadium seating.

This is the first day the pool will be open for swimming, so pack a swim suit for a post-clean up swim.

Making It's My Park! Day even greener

• Bring a refillable water bottle or a cup with a lid. We're providing all projects with large, insulated water jugs to use for ice-cold refills.
• Walk, bike, bus or carpool to the park.
• Bring work gloves or rubber gloves to use instead of disposable latex gloves for trash pick-up projects.
• Wear your Organic Cotton It's My Park! Day tee-shirt with pride!
