Vance Park
1400 SE 182nd Ave
Rockwood Central Park

Please come by one of these parks this Saturday to help with a cleanup. All you will need is your work gloves (or the City will provide them).

If you can’t make it to one of these parks on Saturday and you want to do something to help the Wilkes East Neighborhood you can go to Columbia View Park, 1000 NE 169th Ave anytime. You'll see some neighbors have already begun piling branches -- and you can continue this work.
