Show the City Commission how much we love our parks

PARK CLEANUP WEEKEND!

Next weekend April 26th and 27th, is Adopt-a-Park Park Cleanup Weekend.  Get on out to your local park and lets show our pride in our city and our parks! 

As you may not know, The City Commission has created a special task force to review our underutilized parks as well as Normandy Oaks.  The NORMANDY OAKS TASK FORCE is looking to determine which of our neighborhood parks should be closed to generate revenue to put into other parks.  If you want to keep your park off the chopping block then get it adopted and get out and take care of it this weekend.

If you are interested in pitching in you may register by calling the DPS at 248-246-3300 between 7:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Pick a park anytime prior to April 25th.  Or just show up and do what you can!

Task List:
Walk entire park and pickup sticks, branches and trash
Rake and bag leaves around play area and along fence lines
Weed within play area and rake mulch as needed
Weed sand box area and turn over sand with shovels
Weed whack around play area
Haul bags to designated area for pickup
Haul large branches to the nearest curb

Show your Royal Oak pride!
Ted Page - President of the Royal Oak Beverly Hills Improvement Association
