This task makes a big difference in safety and helps the playground look well cared for. Whether you’re a longtime volunteer or joining us for the first time, this is a great opportunity to spend time outdoors, connect with community members, and make a visible impact in a neighborhood park. No prior experience is necessary—staff will provide all tools, supplies, training, and guidance throughout the event.
