❤️🌳 Come show Columbus Square Park some love!

Join the Friends of Columbus Square for our fall Love Your Park volunteer day on Saturday, November 14 from 10am–1pm. 🍂

We’ll be getting the park ready for the colder months with a morning of cleaning, gardening, leaf cleanup, and other projects to help keep our neighborhood park looking its best. 🧹🍁🌱

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 All ages and experience levels are welcome! Whether you can stay for the whole event or just lend a hand for an hour, every little bit helps.

It’s a great way to meet neighbors, get outside, and give back to a park that brings our community together all year long. 💚
