Last Tree Planting for 2026 in McKinley Park:  On March 28, 2026 from 9 am to noon, Rain or Shine, we will be planting the last trees in our park.  Please plan to come out and plant the trees that will soon tower over the park, provide shade, habitat and beauty to the park.  Approximately 17 trees will be planted and staked.

This is a big project.  We’ve done it before and we’ll do it again, but we need you, plus 49-69 more volunteers.

McKinley Park Trash Dash This Sunday at 10 am:  Calling all Trash Dashers. Come out to our beautiful park and make it shine for all to see. We will be out, rain or shine! We will meet up by the Duck Pond at McKinley Park. Lots of friendly faces will be out to help us clean up around the park. We will have our litter getters, trash bags, gloves and lots of friendly faces out to make our park shiny.
This is a great opportunity for anyone that needs some community service hours. We will gladly sign any volunteer paperwork!
