Your first visit

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

First step: Email weccacoe@qvna.org to ask about joining the Friends group, helping on a cleanup day, or taking a night lock or morning unlock shift..

What to expect

The first step is an email, since the page gives no meeting time. Recent park cleanups were posted as Love Your Park events, such as Saturday, May 16, 2026, 9 to 11 am.

Tips for your first visit

  • Email before you come, since the page gives no meeting times.
  • The park is at 425 Queen St.
  • Watch the QVNA events page for cleanup days.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The page gives a direct email for questions and posts cleanup days on the QVNA events page. It gives no meeting time and does not describe a first visit..
