Volunteer Cleanup in Fairmount Park

About

Help keep Philly's parks and waterways free of litter! Join us for this small, socially distant & family friendly cleanup along Fairmount Park's Schuylkill River Trail. We'll gather at one of the parking lots on Kelly Drive; exact location determined by need and emailed out a few days before the event.

All cleanups are lead by Philadelphia Parks & Recreation staff. Trash grabbers, bags, and gloves will be provided- though you're welcome to bring your own. Please note restrooms are not available at this locations, and volunteers should plan to bring enough water for themselves.

We may need to cancel in the event of heavy rain or thunder. We'll send an email to all registered volunteers a few days prior, with weather confirmation, meeting location, and other important details!

Remember to wear a mask, and to stay home if you experience COVID-19 symptoms or have been in contact with a confirmed case in the last 14 days.
