Join UpaDowna to make a difference in our urban parks by helping us clean our adopted areas, North Monument Valley & Boddington Park!
Meet up at the Monument Valley Parking Lot at 205 W Fontanero St, Colorado Springs, CO 80907. We encourage you to ride bikes, parking can be tight! Trash bags, gloves, water, and snacks will be provided. Have a cleanup shirt? Please wear it! Don’t have one? We’ll do our best to get you one!
PLEASE RSVP, we’ll do out best to provide snacks/drinks! The adoption of this park is in partnership with the City of Colorado Springs. A brief safety meeting will take place before the cleanup. Also, please arrive early because after the safety talk, we hit the trail right at 1pm! Thanks!
Kids are welcome but keep in mind, there can be dangerous objects along the trail. Please keep a close eye on little ones. We currently do not have gloves for kids under 10. We always suggest to wear lightweight long pants/ long sleeved shirt and sturdy closed-toed shoes. Bring water and a small backpack for snacks, rain gear, or anything needed to keep kiddos happy, just in case!
**WEATHER: usually we do not cancel. Stay tuned to Facebook for the most updated news, or call 719-429-9006 for info.
