Every spring the Parks Board, Greenscape Commission, and Beech Grove Promoters Club partner with the Parks Department for a Clean-Up Day in the Parks. Volunteers from other community organizations, concerned citizens, and local officials give their time as well to help get our parks ready for the busy summer season.

In 2011 efforts focused on Hartman Park and South Grove Park. Dugouts and outbuildings were painted, shelters cleaned, and winter debris picked up, while Little League parents and volunteers readied the ball diamonds and concession stand for their Opening Day.

In 2010 volunteers worked many hours in Sarah T. Bolton Park, painting restroom buildings, mulching flower beds, and removing accumulated winter debris.

Parks patrons can help keep our parks clean throughout the year by depositing trash in one of the many 
receptacles located throughout the parks.
