America 250 Greatest American Cleanup - MLK Park

Celebrate Earth Month and honor America 250 by joining the nationwide Greatest American Cleanup, a signature initiative of Keep America Beautiful. As communities across the country prepare to commemorate 250 years of American history, this cleanup effort invites volunteers to take part in a collective national goal: removing 25 billion pieces of litter from parks, waterways, neighborhoods, and public spaces by July 4, 2026. Your participation helps create a cleaner, greener, and more beautiful environment for future generations.

On April 4th, volunteer to help clean up one of five locations in the City of Winter Park:

• MLK Park
• Ward Park
• Downtown Winter Park
• Baldwin Park
• Howell Branch Preserve

Join neighbors and fellow community members in clearing litter from parks and surrounding neighborhoods. All supplies—including safety vests, gloves, and trash bags—will be provided. A water cooler will be available; please bring a reusable bottle. To help reduce emissions, we encourage walking, biking, or carpooling to your chosen site.

MLK Park volunteers will meet behind the Winter Park Library & Events Center at the Unity Bridge.

A waiver form is required for all participants.

• Volunteers under 18 must have a parent/guardian present at check‑in to sign a minor waiver.
• Volunteers 12 and under must have a parent/guardian remain for the entire event.
