Columbus Square - "Heart" the Park

Saturday, November 14th, 2020 from 10:00am to 2:00pm

About

We've got (the start of) a GREAT NEW PARK in our neighborhood!  Let's start off right by showing it the LOVE it deserves!  Let's really put our HEARTS into this "first " annual "Love Your Park" Fall Service Day in the newly-renovated park areas that have opened!  We'll be sweepin', and rakin', and baggin' up leaves, for sure!  But we'll also be meetin' and greetin' and talkin' up this "Work in Progress", and sharin' whatever news we can about what's up next for our favorite South Philly green space!  We'll bring the rakes, you bring the enthusiasm and let's DO THIS!!

C'mon!  Be a FRIEND!! Reconnect with old ones; make some new ones!

Just kidding. But now that i have your attention, wanna let you know that we are gonna slightly change our meet-up spot. Instead of meeting at the SE corner (12th/Reed) of the park, we will set up closer to the southside (park) entrance to the Rec Ctr, (by the SprayGround) since the tools are already stored there. We will clearly mark the meet-up spot on Saturday AM, as well. Spread the word. TY.

Also, we will provide masks if you don't have one. (Thanks, Fairmount Park Conservancy!)

Hey, Park-lovers! "Heart" the Park is just three days away. Looks like the weather's gonna' cooperate! Sunny but a little on the cool side, so be sure to dress appropriately! Layers, "sensible" shoes --- and a MASK! Please take a moment to read the Covid-19 guidelines above, and much as we'd miss your help, please stay home if you're not feeling 100%. Thank you again fo volunteering to "Heart" the Park!
