Event Description:

Join Prospect Park and REI to care for your park on It’s My Park! Day. Volunteers will participate in a citywide effort to care for our green spaces with brooms, shovels, rakes, and trash grabbers. At Prospect Park we'll focus our efforts on Lookout Hill with some cleaning, path maintenance and woodland restoration.

What you should know:

Bring your own water bottle. There will be a cooler and it will be available for refills. Wear close-toed shoes and long pants that can get messy. Event will take place rain or shine. Bring a snack or lunch to allow you to work through the day. All necessary tools and materials will be provided. There are no lockers so you will be responsible for your belongings. Please bring only what you are comfortable carrying with you.

Prospect Park Alliance:

The Prospect Park Alliance partners with the City of New York to preserve and maintain Prospect Park for the enjoyment of millions of visitors each year. Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux in the mid-nineteenth century, Prospect Park is one of Brooklyns most treasured destinations and a national landmark. The Prospect Park Alliance is a nonprofit organization founded in 1987 to restore and maintain Prospect Park after a long period of steady deterioration and decline. We preserve the natural environment, restore historic design and provide public programs and amenities for the Park, which receives more than 10 million visits each year. The Alliance plays a significant role in funding the operating budget that keeps the Park clean, safe and beautiful, and employs three-quarters of the staff that take care of the Park and engage its diverse surrounding communities. Today, Prospect Park is an international model for urban parks, and one of the premier green spaces in the United States.
