Hundreds (hundreds!!!) of you came out on April 5th, a beautiful Saturday morning,  to participate in Mayor Nutter's first City wide Philly Spring Clean Up at the Schuylkill River Park Trail on Schuylkill Banks. It was the biggest clean up ever and hundreds of bags of trash were collected from the running/bike path, river banks and all around the park.  MANY THANKS to all of who came and pitch in to helped do such a massive job.  Special thanks to the Streets Department for coming back to pick up every last bag, to Fairmount Park for helping organize our site, and to our partners SRDC and Friends of Schuylkill River Park for everything they did to make this entire event a great success.  The park looks fantastic and Schuylkill River Park Alliance thanks everyone who expressed such civic pride for Philadelphia and the Schuylkill River Park Trail.  You can see photos taken during the morning on our Picasa site here or click on our photo albums to the right.

To keep the momentum of a sparkling Schuylkill River Park Trail, Philadelphia Cares sent groups to help park users on May 17th to weed, pick up litter and keep the park looking its best. Many thanks to those who participated in Philadelphia Cares for Fairmount Park Day on Schuylkill River Park Trail.
