Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Pick your zone on the Schedule and Map page at cobbscreekparkambassadors.org, register for an upcoming cleanup through the Register link, and meet your zone's ambassador at the listed spot. Email CobbsCreekParkAmbassadors@gmail.com with questions..

You need to sign up first.

What to expect

Each cleanup runs about two hours, usually 9 to 11 am on a Saturday or 2 to 4 pm on a Sunday, and starts at a meeting spot named by cross streets. Each zone has its own ambassador, and the group welcomes new volunteers. The page does not list costs, what to bring, or what the group supplies.

Tips for your first visit

  • Email the zone's ambassador or the group address before you come, since the page does not say what to bring or wear.
  • Meeting spots are cross streets, such as Upland Street and Cobbs Creek Parkway for zone 14.
  • The Schedule and Map page links a SEPTA route for each zone, starting from 40th and Spruce.
