Our semi-annual It's My Park! Day events in May and October bring 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 16, 2009.

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

October 25, 2008, Fall It's My Park! Day was a great success! Thousands of New Yorkers cared for and celebrated 175 parks across the city. Check back soon for photos. Click here to view photos from previous It's My Park! Days.
