Calling all volunteers: Love Your Park Week 2021 is May 8-16!

Volunteer registration is now open for Love Your Park Week! Love Your Park Week is a celebration of Philly parks from May 8-16, 2021.

After last year’s Love Your Park @ Home, in-person volunteer events will return for this year’s week-long celebration. Volunteer Park Friends groups across Philadelphia need your help tending gardens and flower beds, caring for trees, and cleaning up our parks after a cold winter. 

Please note that all events will be capped at 25 total participants and will follow COVID-19 health protocols per Philadelphia's Department of Public Health. All participants are required to wear masks.
