Brentwood Park “It’s My Park Day” - March 5th

Friends of Brentwood Park is hosting an “It’s My Park Day” Event
Brentwood Park
Saturday, March 5th
9 am to 12 pm
Registration link HERE.
Come join us to spruce up our park on what we all hope will be a beautiful spring morning!

Here’s what we have planned:
* Pool Area - weeding, cleanup, tending the plantings
* Volleyball Court - Clean up, border maintenance, new net
* Park Sign Bed on Arroyo Seco - weeding, cleanup, tending the plantings
* Mulch Work - adjusting mulch around trees planted in November, replenish mulch on other trees
* General park cleanup

All volunteers need to stop by the volunteer table by the pool to check-in and pick up your packets. Each registered volunteer gets a super cool commemorative t-shirt, snacks and other goodies. All volunteers must sign a release form (required by Austin Parks Foundation) even if you have already pre-registered on the web.
Group photo at 9 am sharp!
