Painting the Town Green

Just kidding! Painting the Benches Green in McMichael Park

Friends of McMichael Park are participating in the City Wide Clean-up on Saturday, April 7th at 1PM. There are 22 benches in McMichael Park that have not been painted since 2013. This past year many of the benches have been repaired with the help of PP&R. Stanley's Hardware has graciously donated paint for this afternoon project. We are grateful to them as a valued community partner. So if you can volunteer please register here: http://www.psc.philadelphiastreets.com/1/home

Everyone will be contacted just before the event. Also note that this is a weather permitting event.

In keeping with Philadelphia Parks & Recreation initiative and renewed efforts to contribute 100,000 hours of volunteerism city wide for this year, our Friends of McMichael Park will likewise continue to contribute to the ongoing maintenance that is required of an open green space.

Bring your friends...wear green to match the paint! Bring a scraper if you own one. The rest of the supplies will be from Friends of McMichael Park. Light refreshments too.
