National Public Lands Day brings together volunteers from coast to coast to improve and restore the lands and facilities that people across America use and enjoy every day. Each year, National Public Lands Day volunteers provide tens of millions of dollars’ worth of services in one day that would otherwise take limited park staff months to accomplish. Last year, more than 200,000 people participated in events at more than 2,500 sites in all 50 states plus Washington, D.C.

Friends of the Allentown Parks is an independent § 501 (c) (3) organization which strives to: foster pride in the city of Allentown and improve its quality of life; enlist the support of citizens and community leaders who share a passion for Allentown’s parks; educate the public and advocate for responsible park use; promote environmental awareness and sustainability; and improve park assets, services and programs.
