The group organizes two citywide park events each year — on the second Saturdays of May and November — to bring resources and attention to Philly’s green spaces.The fall event spans the entire weekend and helps prepares parks not only for winter but the following spring. Volunteers plant and care for trees, rake leaves, clean garden beds, and other tasks.
“Fairmount Park Conservancy and Philadelphia Parks & Recreation believe that Love Your Park is an essential way to connect Philadelphians to their neighborhood parks, teaching the fundamentals of care and stewardship while building connections to green space and each other,” said Maura McCarthy, CEO of Fairmount Park Conservancy.
Park Friends groups are registered with the city with the goal of keeping parks vibrant and inviting. They organize cleanups and volunteering, plan events, help raise funds, and advocate for the parks..

“Volunteering during Love Your Park Weekend is the easiest way to give back to your local park,” said Orlando Rendon, Philadelphia Parks & Recreation commissioner. “We encourage all Philadelphians to get connected to your community’s Park Friends group, advocating for and supporting these important public spaces.”
