This is a great opportunity for someone looking to get service hours on their own time, at their own pace, and with their own supplies. This is a self-guided litter pick-up opportunity that requires bending down and careful attention to detail.
Our pavilions are often used by picnickers, birthday parties, and other family events, but at the end of the event, exhausted guests often rush home leaving the pavilion looking worse than they found it. You can help by carefully inspecting pavilions for small litter on the ground. Remove tape on the sides and bottoms of picnic tables. Remove tape, balloon strings, staples, and push pins on the columns of the pavilion. Wipe down picnic tables and benches with soapy water. Check grills for pieces of aluminum foil and other waste. Report major problems or hazards to park staff at 717-840-7440.

A small bucket or large cup, a washcloth or paper towels, and some dish soap. (You can get water from the restroom sink or the water fountain during warm seasons).
