Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Come to the second Saturday cleanup at 300 Washington Ave, March through December. No sign-up is listed for cleanups..
You can just show up. No sign up needed.
What to expect
A cleanup lasts about two to three hours on a Saturday morning, weather permitting. You pick up litter and tend the planting beds alongside neighbors who look after the park. No fee is listed to join, though the group asks for donations.
Tips for your first visit
- Cleanups run March through December and stop in winter, so check the events page for the next date before you go.
- Join the email list or the Facebook group to hear about changes to a date.
