Where You'll Be:
In 2013, Riverside Park was completely destroyed by the historic floods that flowed through Colorado. Five years later, Riverside Park was able to re-open, providing residents with plenty of open space along the South Platte River as well as softball fields, basketball and picketball courts, a playground, and a 7-acre lake for fishing! But the work isn't over yet. There are still areas in need of seeding to help restore the area to its former glory.
What You'll Do:
Spend a Friday morning from 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM helping restore Riverside Park! Tasks will be fairly easy and consist of seeding throughout an area where the City is looking to establish trails for visitors to enjoy.
Why It Matters:
Riverside Park is a gem in the City of Evans, and was greatly missed while it was closed for restoration and repairs. By volunteering, you will play an important part in restoring this park to its former glory and providing ample recreation opportunities for residents to enjoy!
