Volunteer New York! and the City of New Rochelle Parks and Recreation department teamed up once again for Earth Day to host their annual Volunteer New Rochelle! Day of Service Clean-up on Saturday, April 23 and Sunday, April 24.

Over the clean-up weekend, 250 volunteers worked together across 12 park sites to accomplish the following:
  • 319 bags of trash were removed from 12 parks
  • 3.5 yards of dangerous debris were removed from trails and playgrounds
  • Over 500 volunteer hours of service were committed to the City of New Rochelle!

"Once again our annual Parks Cleanup Weekend, in conjunction with Volunteer New York!, was a tremendous success. Our volunteer numbers, as well as our cleanup locations, continue to grow and this has easily become one of the most popular days of service for families in New Rochelle and beyond," said Vincent Parise, Commissioner of the New Rochelle Parks and Recreation Department. "We appreciate all of the support from our volunteers and are elated at the fact that residents are discovering new parks within our City."

The 2022 New Rochelle Parks Clean-Up Day is just one of a number of volunteer opportunities showcased through Volunteer New Rochelle!, a program partnership with Volunteer New York! which began in 2016 and offers residents year-round opportunities to support New Rochelle nonprofits and take action locally.
