April 27

Parks bring tremendous benefits to the community, environment, and economy. Great parks and programs help build stronger community, connecting individuals, families, and groups through the power of play. Parks provide a place to keep kids active and off the streets. All of these are great reasons to come to a designated park and celebrate Earth Day, Arbor Day, National Parks Week, National Volunteer Week, and your local parks in one fun event. Be part of a major county-wide effort with nearly 2,000 other people working in their local parks at the same time.

Saturday, April 27, 2019 9:00 am -12 noon

Come prepared with gloves, tools, and weather appropriate clothing, to cut, pull, plant, and haul. We will be hosting work parties at Spanaway Park, Parkland Prairie and Orangegate Park. For additional locations, check out the www.parksappreciationday.net after April 1.

If your group of 10 or more people interested in “appreciating” a different Pierce County park site near you on April 27, contact Jenn at 253-798-4148 or jenn.sergent@piercecountywa.gov by March 29. www.piercecountywa.gov/parks

At the end of the 8 or 9 week session, skaters will be tested and may earn a ribbon/ patch before advancing to the next level. Pre-Registration is required.
