PHCA Park Cleanup Day

Saturday, April 20, 2024

9:00 am to 1:00 pm

Supplies and snacks: Olney Park in Pimmit Hills

Cleanup location: Any one of our eight parks

 

What better way to celebrate Earth Day than beautifying some of our local Pimmit Hills parks?

Swing by Olney Park between 9:00 am and noon to pick up supplies (gloves, trash bags, and a limited supply of trash grabber-pickers that you can use to get hard-to-reach items or pick up things without bending or squatting). Look for a table near the parking lot with a PHCA Board Member handing out supplies and snacks!

You can dispose of your garbage collection bags on your own, or bring them back to Olney park by 1:00 pm and we will take care of them. Bring back the trash grabber-pickers as well; they are PHCA property and we will use them at future cleanups.

If you clean up a particularly messy area, please take before and after photos and share it with us!
