Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Email palumbopark@gmail.com to ask about volunteering or membership, or come to the Love Your Park day in November.
What to expect
Work days are outdoor planting and clean-up jobs in a small South Philadelphia pocket park. The volunteer page does not say how long a work day lasts, what to wear, or whether tools are supplied. Membership costs nothing.
Tips for your first visit
- Email palumbopark@gmail.com before you come, since the site does not list a regular work day schedule.
- The park sits next to Fleisher Art Memorial at 723 Catharine Street, but the site gives no parking or transit details.
- The Love Your Park day is on November 14, 10:30 am to 1 pm, the one dated event on the site.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Membership is free and open to anyone, and there is a clear email to start, but the site does not say first timers are welcome at work days..
Cost and commitment
- Cost
- Free. Membership costs nothing and is open to anyone. The site does not state a fee for events, and it has an optional donate link.
