Fall 2022 Love Your Park Day

Thank you for helping keep the park beautiful on Love Your Park Day! We cleaned, planted, mulched and celebrated Schuylkill River Park. We even held a Pumpkin Chunkin' and smashed pumpkins for a good cause (recycling) and planted a Sensory Garden with the winning tree - the PawPaw!
2022 FALL OPENER
ICYMI! Schuylkill River Park kicked off fall in a big way: a flea market, basketball tournament (with trophy!), snacks... oh, and did we mention a marching band?






2022 Ladybug Release Party
We had so much fun in the Community Garden! Our annual Ladybug Release Party was a great success, where people across the community helped release tons of garden-protecting ladybugs into thhe Community Garden, located at the northwest corner of the Park.


Spring 2022 Love Your Park Week
Thank you to everyone who came out to the spring Love Your Park Day at Schuylkill River Park! We spread mulch, cleared debris from paths and drains, picked up garbage, and sanded and painted our new Adirondack chairs. Once they’re dry, the chairs will be added around the park for everyone to enjoy!


Before
After
Thanks to Paulien for her hard work weeding and mulching the liriope bed between the two dog park gates! It was looking ruff.






A huge group came out to help us assemble, sand, and paint our new Adirondack chairs! You'll see them in the park soon, so get ready to relax!
