Park Pride! (TC)

Park Pride is a village-wide volunteer service day dedicated to beautifying our parks and outdoor spaces. Residents donate one morning of their time to help improve our community! Gardens are weeded and planted, trees mulched, small branches picked up, walkways swept and litter collected. Special projects are also planned for each park location. The Park District will provide some gloves and tools, but we encourage volunteers to also bring their own tools if possible, such as rakes, shovels for mulching, and hand tools for weeding. Please label your tools if you bring them.

REGISTRATION Please register at the Recreation Center, 536 East Avenue. Registration includes the completion of a waiver for participation. Groups are encouraged to pre-register. To pre-register your large group please email Teresa Chapman at teresachapman@pdlg.org A parent or guardian must sign a waiver for each minor who will participate. Registration forms are available at the Recreation Center or download the registration form from our website at www.pdlg.org.
