MLK Day of Service Park Cleanup
Timucuan Parks Foundation invites the community to join them for the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service on Monday, January 20. Volunteers should meet at 9 a.m. at the fishing pier/boardwalk at Blue Cypress Park at 4012 University Blvd. N. in Arlington to help with litter pickup and park beautification, including under the boardwalk. MLK Day of Service is an annual nationwide observance celebrating the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Volunteers are asked to wear closed-toe shoes and clothes they do not mind getting dirty. The work under the boardwalk and along the shoreline will occur during low tide, but the ground could be mucky. Please bring a full reusable water bottle and a clip or backpack to carry the bottle to allow free hands to pick up litter. TPF will provide gloves, trash bags, snacks and water to refill bottles.
The service event is expected to last until noon and volunteers of all ages are welcome. Those under 18 must have a waiver signed by a parent or guardian. Children under 16 must be accompanied by a parent, guardian or youth leader. Volunteers are eligible for community service hours.
