Here Comes Love Your Park on Nov. 14th

Love Your Park Fall Service Day on November 14th is nearly upon us and Clark Park is poised to play a very special role as a model park for the city. That’s right Clark Park will be this years Signature Site for Love Your Park which means Philadelphia Parks and Recreation will be highlighting and participating in special celebrations in our park to kickoff this annual citywide event.

For the uninitiated Love Your Park Fall Service Day is a citywide volunteer event on the second Saturday of November. Over 100 parks across Philadelphia host volunteer events to clean up our parks after a busy summer season and prepare these public green spaces for winter – and the following spring! Volunteers plant and care for trees, rake leaves, plant flower bulbs, clean out garden beds, and more. 

As the Signature Site for Love Your Park, Clark Park will host a special celebration and volunteer workday. Join Philadelphia Parks & Recreation, Fairmount Park Conservancy, and the Friends of Clark Park to plant trees, spruce up the garden beds, collect leaves for compost, and clean up trash and litter. All tools and materials, including gloves, will be provided. All participants are required to wear masks, which will also be available for anyone who needs one.

After the workday, Mayor Kenney, Councilperson Gauthier, and the Friends of Clark Park will join us for a brief speaking program to commemorate the citywide service day and celebrate Philly’s incredible parks and public spaces.
