Your first visit

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

First step: Come to the next monthly Saturday cleanup at 10 am (check the date at baldwinparkphilly.org first), or join through the membership page at baldwinparkphilly.org/join. Email baldwinparkmembership@gmail.com with membership questions..

You can just show up.

What to expect

Cleanups start at 10 am on a Saturday, and the group works to maintain, restore and preserve the park. The pages we read do not say how long a cleanup lasts or what to bring, so email before your first one.

Tips for your first visit

  • Check the date first. The site gives the second Saturday as the regular day but also posts cleanups on other Saturdays.
  • Email baldwinparkphilly@gmail.com to ask what to bring, since the site does not say.
  • Ask about parking and transit by email, since the pages give no directions.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The site calls attending a cleanup the clearest way to help and links a join page, but it does not say beginners are welcome in particular..
