LOVE YOUR PARK? You've got some choices this Saturday |
Enter LOVE YOUR PARK Week from the Fairmount Parks Conservancy and Philadelphia Parks & Recreation. Starting Saturday, November 16th, it's an entire week of celebrating the parks in the city (and your area) and a call to get involved - so head on over to the volunteer page, throw on your old pair of jeans, and grab a shovel because you've got yourself plenty of options in Pennsport to do just that.
Here is a list of what's happening on Saturday:
- Dickinson Square Park: GIANT LEAF SUCKING TRUCK

From 9am to 1230pm, volunteers will be helping the Friends of Dickinson Square Park clean up the park. Here is an excerpt from the email, masterfully written by Bob of the "Friends" group:
"And for the 4th year in a row.....GIANT LEAF SUCKING TRUCK!
Yes, this great and mighty and outstanding machine will return to the Park once again. The GIANT LEAF SUCKING TRUCK is our friend. All we need to do is to rake the leaves onto tarps, and drag them to the sidewalk on Moyamensing Avenue where the you-know-what will work the magic.
GIANT LEAF SUCKING TRUCK!!!!!"
- Manton Street Park & Community Garden: Ribbon Cutting Event and Party
From Mark Berman:
"We all met at the vacant lot where the park is now, in June 2011, and continued to meet every week without fail for about 5 months straight, in the evening, with shovels, spades, clippers, brooms, axes and a power washer. We enlisted the help of neighborhood kids; old timers and newcomers worked side by side to remove piles of dirt, a carpet of ivy, glass bottles and demolition debris."
- Washington Avenue Green: History Walk, Park Cleanup, and Birding Event
Here is the agenda:

- Howard Street Park: Clean up the best kept secret in Pennsport
Come on out and help out Howard Street Park with some leaf raking, general clean up and bulb planting from 11am to 1230pm. Look for it on Reed Street between Front and Second Streets - you'll be glad you did!

Thanks for the shout-out! This spring is going to be a daffodil-tastic one at Howard Street Park. Thanks, too, to everyone who showed up to help out this year. Much, much appreciated.

ReplyDeleteYou did great photos. Now I want to visit that park. Maybe sit on the bench, relax a bit. Feed the bird. Maybe do some of mine spanish translator work on my laptop. I love working outside. I feel like it makes my thought more clear and I can work and rest at the same time.
