2013 Spring Clean-up Volunteers!

2013 Spring Clean-up Volunteers!

13 hard working community members showed up for our 4th annual Aldercrest Spring Clean-up event, sharing their time, muscle and equipment to help keep our park looking good into the summer.

Working together, the volunteers trimmed the high grasses along the 25th Ave fence line, in the old baseball dugout and in the tennis courts, and pickup garbage around the park ~ all in just a little over 2 hours!

Their efforts made a huge difference and shows that the neighborhood and park users care about the Aldercrest property.  Check out the photos below to see the volunteers at work, and some great ‘before’ and ‘after’ photos.

We are very grateful to our 2013 volunteers and hope to see many new faces in October for our 2nd annual Fall Clean-up event!

2012 Fall Cleanup Volunteers

2012 Fall Cleanup Volunteers

On the morning of Saturday November 3rd, 13 wonderful neighborhood volunteers came to Aldercrest Annex and trimmed weeds along the fence line, removed all of the plants growing in the tennis courts, and picked up trash.  We are very grateful to our volunteers! The impact of their work is amazing - it transformed the tennis courts and made the park’s street front on 25th Ave look clean, controlled and showed that our neighborhood really cares for the park!

Our next park clean-up will be in Spring 2013.  We hope more volunteers will join our efforts to keep the park looking good and show a continued commitment to having a park in our neighborhood.
