The Clean-up (Beginning at 9am)

The Friends of Albany Parks program encourages community members to get involved with the care, maintenance and beautification of their neighborhood park that promotes alternative transportation and fitness. Those who attend and volunteer their time  will receive an official Friends of Albany Parks T-shirt. 

 

Once the clean-up is complete, we gather together for a community discussion geared toward developing ideas for further park improvement and getting residents consistently involved in the maintenance. The Community Discussion helps foster a better sense of community and build social capital as neighbors meet and work together.
