Sarvis Park: Park Makeover

Sarvis Park: Park Makeover

Presented by Keep Genesee County Beautiful (KGCB) at Sarvis Park, Flint

Sarvis Park Makeover!

We have an event this weekend at Sarvis Park in Flint. We are calling it a Park Makeover. The event will be held from 9am – 2pm this Saturday, September 19. Sarvis Park is located one block east of Clio Rd. between Pasadena and Stewart. The park boundary streets are Wisner, Cooper, Myrtle and Winona (see attached map).

Our Park Adopters under the direction of Jermaine Turner have been faithfully working at the park for 2 years. We recently added Charity United Methodist Church under the direction of Pastor Brian Willingham.  But it will a much bigger effort to really get the park back into shape. So with the help of the Lowe’s Store in Burton, local residents and others, we are asking if you would be willing to work a couple of hours this Saturday. We will be working rain or shine. Tasks to be accomplished include:

Scrape and paint the playground equipment (weather permitting)
Clear the fence lines and curbs of litter, debris and vegetation
Work in the forested area to remove limbs and clear out vegetation

If you would like to volunteer, please call the KGCB office at 767-9696 and add your name (and any others) to the list. We will provide snacks, water, lunch, dumpsters, yard waste and garbage bags, gloves and some tools. If you have loppers, pruners, hand saws, chain saws, hand pruners, rakes  or other tools, please bring them and make sure they have your name on them. There is something to do for everyone!

Our goal is to be able to see through the whole park, have clean fence lines, clean curbs  and newly painted playground equipment. We have provided replacement swing seats and chains and 80 cubic yards of playground mulch this year and several hazardous items will be removed next month.

Sign in will be located next to the playground area and volunteers are asked to park inside the park at the entrance on Cooper. More questions? Please call.

Hope to see you there this Saturday. Please call 76709696 to RSVP.

Thanks!
