Your first visit

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

First step: Sign up through the registration link on the next park cleanup post, or email membership@gardencourtca.org to ask how to join..

You need to sign up first.

What to expect

A cleanup lasts about two hours on a Saturday afternoon, with paths cleared, leaves and litter picked up, and flowers planted at Barkan Park. Organizers provide gloves, tools, and refreshments. The June 2026 annual meeting was free, with food and drinks, speakers, and board votes.

Tips for your first visit

  • Gloves and tools are provided, so there is nothing to buy.
  • Cleanups run 2 to 4 pm on a Saturday, so plan for that afternoon.
  • The June 2026 annual meeting was held at West Philadelphia Mennonite Fellowship, 123 South 51st Street, 1:30 to 3:30 pm.
  • Check the news page for the next cleanup date, since posts show months but not years.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Cleanups and the annual meeting are public, and the membership committee answers questions by email. The site does not say whether people from outside the area can join..

Cost and commitment

Cost
Low cost. Yearly dues are $10 for an individual, $15 per family, and $35 for a business, per a June 2026 local news post. The association's own pages do not list amounts.
