Come spend a couple of hours with the Oregon Bay Area Beautification (OBAB) group and the Coos Bay Parks Department to once again help beautify the John Topits Park in the Empire Lakes area. The 2nd Saturday cleanup will be on Saturday, July 8, 2023.
Volunteers will meet at John Topits Park, located at 355 Hull Street, Coos Bay, and sign in at 12:30pm. The clean up effort is from 1-3PM.
This family friendly volunteer event will involve trail maintenance, invasive plant removal, tree removal, painting, pressure washing, and raking the sandy beaches. Please come prepared with appropriate clothing and shoes for working in the woods and/or painting. Bring work gloves, cutting tools for shrubbery, and trash grabbers if you have them. If you have a kayak or canoe you can come help to access trash in water or near shore. Trash bags will be provided. This event is rain or shine but will be rescheduled to the 3rd Saturday if there are dangerous conditions.
Kids with adult supervision welcome! Teenagers over 15 years old without adult supervision are welcome too, but only if you have a release form signed by your parent or guardian. You can contact OBAB for a release form.
