Park Appreciation Day

As the City of La Mesa continues its efforts to open a former golf course in MacArthur Park as community open space; the public is invited to participate in park beautification projects at the 12th annual Park Appreciation Day on Saturday, October 7, 2017, 8:00 am to noon. Park Appreciation Day provides volunteers the opportunity to give back to their community and help make La Mesa shine by assisting in projects that include planting, picking up trash, raking, painting, trimming and weeding. All participants are encouraged to bring their own gloves and tools such as trimmers, shovels, rakes, pitchforks, trowels, and lopping shears. All ages are welcome to help out. Sign-ups for specific projects and the required waiver can be found online at www.cityoflamesa.us/specialevents or at the park on the day of the event at 4900 Memorial Drive in La Mesa. Family games and a free BBQ will be available for volunteers following the clean-up efforts. For more information visit www.cityoflamesa.us/specialevents or call 619.667.1491.
