Steilacoom has many fun events on the Fourth of July. However, the morning after means considerable extra work for our hard-working Town Streets and Parks crews facing the cleanup. They appreciate our help.
Please join volunteers on July 5 from 8 AM – 9:30 AM at Pioneer Park (end of Wilkes Street and Main Street) OR at Sunnyside Beach Park (2509 Chambers Creek Rd) to show appreciation to our Town Parks and Streets crews by helping clean up the parks and downtown streets.
Litter pickers and trash bags will be available. Bring gloves. Consider bringing a bucket to place trash in to make the job easier.
Thank you for keeping Steilacoom and our parks clean and beautiful!Questions? Nancy Henderson, nancy.henderson@ci.steilacoom.wa.us or Liz Grasher, elizabeth.grasher@ci.steilacoom.wa.us
It’s wonderful that Steilacoom Kiwanis volunteers assist with Park Cleanup but Park Guests also need to do their part by picking up their trash before they leave.
We’ve been having dinner at the Lakewood Farmer’s Market at Fort Steilacoom Park on Tuesday evenings and on our last visit the floor of the covered dining area and surrounding grass were covered with trash. There was trash spread throughout the Park in the areas around the Food Trucks in spite of convenient trash containers. The public need to do better. We had to pick up other’s trash to sit down and eat. Come on folks, it’s not McDonald’s!
