Take Pride in Our Parks

Spring has sprung in Montana and that means that it’s time to get our local parks ready for a summer of fun! As part of its annual Take Pride In Our Parks, United Way of Cascade County is recruiting volunteers to spruce up some of Great Falls’ wonderful city parks on Saturday May 3!

Recruit a team of five to twenty people and coordinate with us to adopt a park! United Way will provide supplies and is working with Great Falls Park & Rec on task lists so you and your team will know what needs doing. This is a great team building opportunity that provides an opportunity for you to enjoy the fresh air and serve our community.

United Way will work with teams who can’t volunteer on Saturday, May 3, to find a day that fits their schedule in the following week. Individuals and families are invited to join United Way board members on May 3rd to help clean Elk's Riverside Park starting at 9 a.m. The park is located at 701 River Dr N.

Volunteers will be cleaning up old leaves, trash, and spreading out wood chips underneath playgrounds or other tasks. Volunteers are encouraged to wear work clothes, including gloves and bring a shovel or heavy duty rake.
