Your first visit

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

First step: Look at the group's calendar of upcoming volunteer opportunities, then email fopenntreatypark@gmail.com to ask how to sign up for the next one.

What to expect

Volunteer work is hands-on park upkeep such as litter and recycling pickup, planting trees, flowers and shrubs, or helping at events. The site does not say how long a shift runs, what to wear or whether tools are supplied, and it lists no volunteer costs.

Tips for your first visit

  • Email fopenntreatypark@gmail.com before you come to ask how to sign up for a volunteer day.
  • Parking is free: accessible spaces sit next to the park entrance on Beach Street, and more free parking is on E Columbia Avenue, across N Delaware Avenue.
  • Take the 43 bus to the park entrance, or walk about 15 minutes from Girard station on the Market-Frankford Line.
  • The park is open daily from 8 am to 6 pm.

Newcomer welcome

Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: The volunteer page lists a calendar and an email but no sign-up steps, so the way in is unclear..
