It’s My Park Day project registration is now open! Held annually, It’s My Park Day is the Austin Park Foundation‘s largest volunteer event of the year. 2015’s event included nearly 100 projects city-wide, 3,000 volunteers, and 10,000 hours of volunteer labor. That’s equivalent to 5 park maintenance employees working full-time for a whole year! All told, including labor, this one day represented an investment of over a quarter of a million dollars for Austin’s parks.

On March 5th, the Austin Parks Foundation is looking to do this all over again, but they need volunteers! Now through February 5th anyone hoping to lead a project at their local park can register here. General volunteer registration opens on February 9th. More info>>
