Get ready to “Pitch in for Parks” a volunteer based program offered through a partnership between Pierce County Parks and Recreation and McLendon Hardware. Pitch in for Parks is a great opportunity for all ages and abilities, (ages 15 and under with guardian) to pitch in and help your community. Supplies will be available for use plus a snack and water. Join us “rain or shine” with appropriate clothing for the weather and work gloves. Pitch in for an hour or for the entire time from 10 a.m. to 12 noon on the following Saturdays:

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.

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 www.parksappreciationday.net.

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 | jenn.sergent@piercecountywa.gov
