It's My Park Day at Underhill Playground
Friends of Underhill needs your help sprucing up our playground for Spring and Summer. Join us on It's My Park Day, this Saturday, May 19th from 10am to 1pm. We will be weeding the planting beds, cleaning, tossing old toys and caring for the street tree beds around the perimeter of the Park. The Parks Department and Prospect Heights Street Tree Task Force will be lending some tools, but if you have gloves or extra gardening tools, please bring them!
Local arts teacher Isabel Cruz of The Bluebell Studio (http://thebluebellschool.com) will be on hand to run nature-based arts & crafts for the kids. Cupcakes donated by BCakeNY and coffee donated by Pennyhouse (on Washington Ave.) will provide fuel for lots of good work! And please bring your reusable water bottles so that we can minimize the amount of trash we send to the landfill!
