Love Your Park Week 2024

Philadelphia Parks
May 11th – May 19th
All Day

This spring, show your favorite neighborhood park some love! Love Your Park Week is a nine-day celebration of Philadelphia's public parks from May 11-19, 2024.

In partnership with Philadelphia Parks & Recreation and Fairmount Park Conservancy, Park Friends Groups across the city will be hosting events & volunteer cleanups for Love Your Park Week 2024.

Over 100 Philly parks need help tending gardens and flower beds, caring for trees, and cleaning up our parks after the winter season. Check out the map & list (ordered alphabetically by park name) below to find a participating park near you:
