Memorial Day: DIY Park Clean Up

  • 505 Lake Street Burlington, Vermont, 05401 United States (map)

Neighbors! Join our ragtag volunteer squad for our 6th organized clean up of the Urban Reserve section of the Waterfront Park on Memorial Day May 25th. Have you been thinking about joining but waiting for the right opportunity? Now's the time before the June heat really sets in. If you wait too long, we might finish the project before you can join us.

While this is a community service activity (cleaning up a park), I just want to plug how much FUN the experience has been! I've met like 30-50 new community members from different backgrounds that I wouldn't have otherwise, all while moving around in the sunshine in this beautiful part of our City parks network. Almost all of the volunteers last week were people I had never met before.

I have gloves, buckets, and some landscaping gear, but all trash bags and PPE are encouraged. Trash grabbers are particularly helpful! If you have some equipment you think would be useful, just bring it. We have a $0 budget for this project and are running entirely on people-power, so all support is welcome.

Meet at new B Dog Skatepark, just north of the Community Sailing Center. Look out for the blue pop top tent.
