Baker-Polito Administration Announces 13Th Annual Park Serve Day State Park Clean-Up Events Set for Saturday, April 27, 2019 Mass.gov PRESS RELEASE Baker-Polito Administration Announces 13th Annual Park Serve Day State Park Clean-Up Events Set for Saturday, April 27, 2019 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 4/10/2019 Department of Conservation & Recreation MEDIA CONTACT Olivia Dorrance, Press Secretary Phone (617) 626-4967 (tel:6176264967) Online [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) BOSTON — The Baker-Polito Administration today announced that the 13th Annual Park Serve Day event will be held on Saturday, April 27, 2019, with more than 37 volunteer activities coordinated throughout the Commonwealth with the assistance of several organizations and stakeholders. Created in 2006 as a statewide initiative to encourage a day of volunteerism, Park Serve Day enables the public to partner with state government in an effort to prepare the Commonwealth’s many state parks and beaches for the upcoming spring and summer seasons. Since Park Serve Day began, thousands of individuals have volunteered in an effort to make a difference, such as assisting in cleaning coastlines, clearing trails, picking up litter, planting flowers, and other important tasks. “Our administration is grateful to the thousands of volunteers who will get outside with friends and neighbors to improve state parks throughout the Commonwealth on Park Serve Day,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “We look forward to working with local officials on a successful 2019 recreational season.” “We thank the teams of volunteers in state parks across Massachusetts for their dedication and hard work to help get the state park system ready for this year’s season,” said Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito. Local events will take place between the hours of 8:00AM and 3:00PM, though times may vary by location. Additionally, participants are encouraged to reach out to their local state parks to confirm event times and meeting place. Work gloves and equipment necessary to complete various projects will be provided by the DCR; however, if participants choose, they can bring their own gloves or hand tools (personal materials should be clearly marked with the owner’s name and phone number on them). Notably, power tools will not be allowed. “Park Serve Day is a great way for individuals and families to help prepare the Commonwealth’s parks for the upcoming season,” said Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Matthew Beaton. “Through the efforts of volunteers across the state, our state parks will be ready to welcome the thousands of residents and visitors in the coming months.” Additionally, drinking water will be supplied at all DCR facilities where Park Serve Day projects have been organized, although participants may wish to bring their own water and/or food. Volunteers should wear sturdy shoes and work clothes, and bring sunscreen and insect repellent. Weather can be unpredictable, so please dress accordingly. Also, all parking fees for volunteers will be waived at locations where Park Serve Day events are taking place. “Rain or shine, Park Serve Day has become a time-honored tradition for many of the volunteers who participate every year, working shoulder to shoulder with DCR staff to prepare the state parks system for the influx of millions of people who visit every year,” said Department of Conservation and Recreation Commissioner Leo Roy. “Park Serve Day is a great example of the Baker-Polito Administration’s efforts to work collaboratively with the public, advocacy groups, municipalities, and other interested stakeholders to strengthen community bonds and foster strong partnerships.” To find a Park Serve Day event near you, please review the list below or search the Park Serve Day webpage (/service-details/park-serve-day-2019-saturday-april-27), where volunteers can register for an event.

  • DCR's 10Th Annual Park Serve Day Set
    For Immediate Release - April 19, 2016 DCR’s 10th Annual Park Serve Day Set for Saturday, April 30, 2016 Public is Encouraged to Join Thousands of Volunteers at Statewide Park Clean- Up Events Boston- Tuesday, April 19, 2016- Today, the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) has announced that the 10th annual Park Serve Day will be held on Saturday, April 30, 2016, and the agency encourages members of the public to participate in events held at local state parks and beaches. Park Serve Day is a statewide initiative dedicated to a day of volunteer service where the public partners with staff from the DCR to ready the Commonwealth’s parks and beaches for summer by assisting in cleaning coastlines, clearing trails, planting flowers, painting picnic tables, mowing, weeding, and picking up litter. “From planting flowers and trees to painting picnic tables and welcome signs, Park Serve Day is an incredible opportunity for state government to partner with the public in an effort to benefit us all,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “By working together, generations of people will truly benefit from this worthwhile event.” Park Serve Day improves natural, cultural, and recreational public spaces throughout Massachusetts through volunteerism at local events. The majority of events will take place between the hours of 8:00AM and 3:00PM, though hours may vary by location, and participants are encouraged to reach out to their local state parks to confirm event times. “Every year thousands of volunteers pitch in and participate in DCR’s annual Park Serve Day, and I’m so proud of their work and commitment at our state parks” said Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito.
