A sunny Saturday in New York City is a fitting way to celebrate the 12th annual I Love My Park Day, a yearly celebration when thousands of volunteers clean up parks.
Across New York state, volunteers are sprucing up outdoor spaces by picking up litter, painting benches, picking weeds and more.
Volunteers can participate in projects at more than 120 parks around the state Saturday.
Events in the five boroughs will be hosted at Clay Pit Ponds Nature Interpretative Center, Denny Farrell Riverbank State Park, FDR Four Freedoms State Park, Gantry Plaza State Park, Hudson River Park, Marsha P. Johnson State Park, Roberto Clemente State Park and Shirley Chisholm State Park, according to the state.
