Help Needed for Parks Clean Up Day

Volunteers are needed for projects taking place at the Land O' Lakes Recreation Complex and other parks throughout Pasco County.

Many of the city and county parks and recreation systems in the Bay area have been working together to designate Thursday, July 26, as a Parks Clean Up Day in Tampa Bay. This is in conjunction with Florida’s designation of July as Parks and Recreation Month.

The Pasco County Parks and Recreation Department invites individuals, groups and organizations to make this day, a day to visit their local parks and “make a difference” by working side by side with parks and recreation professionals on various tasks. To adopt a project call Parks and Recreation at 727-834-3278.

Here is a list of tasks the public is being asked to help to the county complete in various West Pasco area parks:
