What would we do without our neighborhood parks and playgrounds? For us parents, it’s a vital part of our community — for playtime, exercise, a place to make friendships and so much more. On Saturday, Mar. 7, you can take part in Austin Parks Foundation’s biggest annual, city-wide volunteer event — It’s My Park Day. Each year, thousands of volunteers work to improve parks and greenbelts throughout the city, and you and the kids can help, too.

Volunteers will receive an event t-shirt, a burrito card from Chipotle Mexican Grill, and treats provided by KIND Healthy Snacks and Wheatsville Food Co-op. To register to volunteer at a park near you, simply visit this website to sign up for a location of your choice.

Thanks for making a difference!
