Park Pride
This year’s 35th annual Park Pride parks
beautification event will again be designed so it can still
involve the community and make it safe for everyone wanting
to participate. Volunteers can still help beautify parks by
cleaning up the park and planting flowers.
We will arrange to have flowers available to pick up or
dropped off at select neighborhood parks for residents to plant
on a day and time convenient for them. Flowers will be on Friday, April 30
and Saturday, May 1 with limited gardening tools available.
We’ll need help at the following parks: Cedar Park, Heritage Park,
Homewood Estates Park, Indian Trails Park, Irwin Park, Orchard Park, Patriots Park,
Pinewood Park, Rovers Run Dog Park, Scandia Park, Woodborough Park,
Ballantrae Park, Flossmoor Park, Highlands Park and Pheasant Trails Park.
For more information or for scheduling a day to help out at a park,
please email Doug Boehm at dboehm@hfparks.com.
Thank you for helping us get our parks ready for summer
and continuing this event’s long tradition!
