Event Description
The second annual Parks, Rivers, Trails & Trees is a city-wide stewardship day and community celebration, and a great way for individuals and families to care for and celebrate our shared public outdoor spaces.
Presented by the Denver Park Trust, in partnership with leading conservation nonprofits,
neighborhood organizations, and residents, Parks, Rivers, Trails & Trees will feature a city-wide volunteer park cleanup day at 12 parks across the city, including City Park, followed by a
community celebration at City Park Pavilion.
Each organization will host a park cleanup event for neighbors, friends, families, and all who
care about parks, open space, and the public realm. A community celebration will follow at the
City Park Pavilion featuring food, music, fun and games, and more!

City Park’s 2022 Adopt-a-Flowerbed Program was a huge success!
From May through October, volunteers generously gave their time and energy to help Parks staff beautify the park — weeding, pruning, fertilizing, and mulching the park’s many garden beds.
Thanks to the many program participants whose efforts make the park a more beautiful place for us all to enjoy.
