Help spruce up our wonderful Fan parks and get them ready for Spring!

Please bring your own gloves, rakes, pitchforks, small shovels/weed pullers, etc. or any equipment.
Remember to wear a mask and maintain a social distance.

To sign up, email parks@fandistrict.org. Please include which park if you have a preference or if you are willing to work where you are needed. Many thanks!
