Open Space & Parks Volunteer Spring Clean Up Events
It's time for some spring cleaning!
Now through June, Open Space and Parks staff have planned some great volunteer events to spruce up the open space and parks in Louisville. So grab a pair of gloves and some sunscreen and join us to pick up debris from the Marshall Fire, pull weeds, put on a fresh coat of paint, and more! It's a great opportunity to be involved and have a positive impact on your community. Space is limited and will fill up quickly.
