What is Park Appreciation day? Park appreciation day is a day to celebrate the wonderful places memories are made. Park appreciation day is often represented as a day to give back to your community, to help clean or to simple enjoy. Go to your local parks to help cleanup, support your community, get to know your community, and get community service hours! Bring friends and family, everyone is welcome, the more the merrier! Learn more about your neighbors, this is a perfect chance to get out of the house and help your community, in a healthy interactive way! Going to clean up these parks can be a really rewarding feeling, especially if you find yourself going often. APRIL 23 2022
