Take ownership of your Park! Saturday, volunteer for a day of cleaning and greening one of New York's most magnificent public parks!

The cleanup —which is part of a citywide park beautification effort—runs from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. All volunteers receive a free tee shirt.

Spend a day making the Park you love look even better. Join a great group of enthusiastic volunteers who will be sprucing up around the playgrounds, painting the wrought iron fence, and cleaning along paths.
