Love Your Park Fall Week is set to engage Philadelphians from November 8 to 16, with a focus on preparing over 100 parks for winter. The main event at Gorgas Park on November 15 will feature tree planting and litter cleanup, welcoming volunteers of all experience levels. Participants will receive tools and materials, making it easy to contribute to the community.
