Our semi-annual It's My Park! Day event in May and October brings thousands of volunteers to over 150 sites in all five boroughs. Projects and events are organized by local community groups, corporate partners, or Parks and City Parks Foundation staff.

Our next It's My Park! Day will be on Saturday, May 17, 2008.

You can get involved in planting, painting, restoration, and clean up projects and enjoy free events in a neighborhood park near you!

Partnerships for Parks celebrated our most recent It's My Park! Day on Saturday, October 20, 2007 – a successful event with thousands of participants at over 175 parks across the city. To view photos, click here.
