Volunteering at FDR Park

Thank you to all the volunteers who dedicate their time and effort to FDR Park! We appreciate all the community members who love this park as much as we do!

Interested in hosting a cleanup with your community organization? Drop us a line and we will provide supplies, such as trash grabbers and bags! Contact us at info@fdrpark.org for more info!

We are also always in need of specialized skill, so consider donating your time and expertise! Are you an arborist? Artist? Painter? Carpenter? Folks from all backgrounds come together to build and beautify FDR!

Group and Corporate volunteers

We host groups from businesses, schools, and other organizations. Email with the dates and times you're interested in and the estimated number of people to info@fdrpark.org.  Groups can make an at-will donation to the Friends of FDR here or purchase items off of our wishlist here
