Frankfort Parks & Recreation to Lead Community-Wide Park Cleanup for Earth Day

The Frankfort Parks & Recreation Department is inviting residents to take part in a community cleanup effort later this month in recognition of Earth Day, aiming to improve local green spaces ahead of the busy spring and summer seasons.

The Park Cleanup Day is scheduled for Saturday, April 25, 2026, from 9 to 11 a.m. Participants will begin the morning at John Redman (3rd Street) Park before being organized into groups and assigned to various park locations across the city.

According to organizers, some volunteer teams may be redirected to different parks depending on attendance levels and maintenance needs identified that day. The effort is intended to maximize impact across multiple sites while encouraging broad community involvement.

Focus on Community and Environmental Stewardship

City officials say the event is part of an ongoing effort to maintain Frankfort’s public spaces and encourage civic pride. Volunteers will assist with general cleanup tasks aimed at keeping parks clean, safe, and welcoming for residents and visitors.

The department is encouraging individuals, families, and community groups to participate, noting that the cleanup is suitable for a wide range of ages and abilities.
