Description: 

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 this past October and want to continue into the spring. This year we have identified the following It's My Park! Day projects:

  • SPREADING MULCH: We are looking for 3 shifts of 5 people each to help spread a big truckload of mulch in the planted areas of the park. Shifts will run from 9-10AM, 10-11AM and 11AM-12PM. Please let me know which shift you would like to sign up for. Children are welcome to help, but should bring appropriate tools.
  • PAINTING - We will be doing painting in the evening hours when the playground is less crowded. We will need to paint the trash cans, the big yellow circles by the entrance and also weatherproof all of the benches. Painting will happen from 5-7PM and it is open to children 5+ to help with parental supervision.

We will have refreshments and fun children's activities as well (including sing-a-longs, face painting and arts & crafts).

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

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

WE HOPE TO SEE EVERYONE AT THIS FUN SEMI-ANNUAL EVENT!
