Pitch In for the Parks


About

The Chicago Parks Foundation provides volunteer groups with supplies and support to independently host clean-ups at any of Chicago’s 600+ parks from June through October.

Pitch in to help keep our parks clean, safe and beautiful!

In 2020, the CPF launched our first ever citywide volunteer park clean-up initiative. Thanks to outstanding community enthusiasm, the effort has quickly grown and we have supported thousands of volunteers for hundreds of clean-up events!


2024 HOST AND VOLUNTEER REGISTRATION COMING SOON


Want to host a Pitch In for the Parks clean-up?

As a PIFTP 'host', you'll independently lead small volunteer groups in simple 1-2 hour trash pick-ups at your convenience. 

  • You pick the park and dates.
  • Gather your own pals or choose for your clean-up to be listed as a public event on our platform for additional volunteers to register to join you.
  • In advance of your event date(s), the CPF delivers complimentary supplies to you - trash bags, gloves, and water. Then you lead the clean-up(s) independently and report back to us as needed for support!

Interested in joining a clean-up rather than hosting one?

Clean-up groups seeking participants are listed below for registration.

Some participating parks will kick off early with a special It's Your Park Day event on Saturday, June 1st. Then all PIFTP park clean-ups continue citywide June through October.


Pitch In for the Parks is generously supported in part by Boxed Water and Move-Tastic.
