LOVE Your Park Fall Service Day: Volunteers Wanted!

Do you LOVE your green spaces & parks? You can give back by volunteering for LOVE Your Park Fall Service Day!

Love Your Park Service Day 2013

Over 60 of your favorite parks will host happy residents, friends and volunteers on Saturday, November 16 throughout Philadelphia. Volunteers will rake fall leaves, plant bulbs and prepare the parks for winter. The day is hosted by the Fairmount Park Conservancy and Philadelphia Parks & Recreation. It will be a perfect follow-up to Glow in the Park, which is celebrating with food, drinks & music in FDR.

LOVE Your Park is a collaborative year-round initiative to celebrate Philadelphia parks and includes the Fall Service Day and LOVE Your Park Week in the spring. 

Sign up for Love Your Park Service Day

Find out where to volunteer on the Love Your Park website or contact Brandon Vaughan at 267-240-2010 or loveyourpark@gmail.com.
