2026 Earth Day at Hopewell Community Park was a HUGE success!

Thank you to every volunteer who braved the rain and got the job done — community members, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and the awesome students from Hopewell High schools.

You painted, mulched, planted, and brought so much spirit to the day.

The high school students especially deserve a big shout‑out — your work ethic and positive attitudes were incredible. The Hopewell School District should be proud of everything you achieved.

We’re grateful for all the hard work and heart everyone put into making our park shine!
