We need volunteers and project leaders to help Underhill Playground celebrate It's My Park! Day. Please let us know if you'd like to be involved by sending an email to underhillplayground@yahoo.com.

It's My Park! Day is a city-wide event where New Yorkers get together to care for and celebrate our parks. We had a lot of fun last October celebrating the opening of our newly renovated park. This year we have identified the following It's My Park! Day projects:

1. PARK CLEAN-UP: We will be scrubbing the whale fountains, the handball courts, and picking up any litter.

2. GARDENING: Weeding, weeding and more weeding...planting some new bulbs too.

3. PAINTING THE TRASHCANS: Several playgrounds have created murals on their trashcans. Let's get some young artists involved and make our playground more colorful.

4. FREE CHILDREN'S ACTIVITIES: Last year we had facepainting, arts & crafts, and a sing-a-long.

5. REFRESHMENTS: Eat, drink and celebrate Underhill Playground!

How you can help:

We need volunteers to help us organize each of the above listed projects. Please email underhillplayground@yahoo.com to let us know if you can help with a specific project, be a project leader, donate (or solicit donations) refreshments, etc.
