Come together for Love Your Park Fall Weekend, a citywide volunteer event encouraging neighbors to help clean and care for Philadelphia’s parks as we transition into winter. This year, Gorgas Park in northwest Philadelphia serves as the signature site, alongside over 100 neighborhood parks across the city. Love Your Park is a community effort led by Philadelphia Parks & Recreation, Fairmount Park Conservancy, and the 140 volunteer groups of the Park Friends Network.
