Love Your Park Fall Service Day is just days away! More than 100 Philly parks are participating this year, and a lot of parks are still looking for volunteers to clean and green on Saturday, November 9th.

Love Your Park is a program of Philadelphia Parks & Recreation and Fairmount Park Conservancy, in partnership with more than 100 volunteer groups who steward their neighborhood parks. Every fall and spring, thousands of volunteers come out to clean and green their parks, plant trees, clean up litter, and more to help prepare parks for the winter.

While nearly 900 volunteers have already signed up to Love Your Park, these Philly parks could use your help on November 9th! Learn a little bit about each park below, and then sign up to volunteer here.

Carroll Park

Carroll Park is a five-acre park that occupies one square block in the West Philly neighborhood of the same name. Like many of Philadelphia’s squares, it features a central fountain surrounded by lawns and tall trees and dates back to the late 18th-century, when it was built by brick maker and developer Eugene Carroll. The park’s most recent additions are a playground, sprayground, and signage that were installed last year. The recently formed Friends of Carroll Park group is working to to put the “neighbor” back in “neighborhood” and make Carroll Park their gathering space for the community.
