Our people are our power, and on this day they come together to help revitalize parks in the communities in which they live and serve. Work typically includes:
- Planting trees following Right Tree, Right Place guidelines
- Repainting murals
- Mulching playgrounds
- Repairing and/or removing fencing
- Painting benches, picnic tables, parking lot lines, basketball courts and shelter houses
- Trimming brush around walking/bike trails
- Resetting benches/signage across the parks with new concrete
- Building new benches to be installed at a later time
- Planting and landscaping
More than 400 people typically participate in the community service projects. Why do they do it? “Being a member of the community, we all have an obligation to help make Indianapolis an exemplary city. It’s just the right thing to do,” said Mark Low, a millwright at Harding Street Station who has served each year as a team captain for AES Indiana Day in the Parks.
AES Indiana Day in the Parks is held in conjunction with Keep Indianapolis Beautiful and the Indianapolis Parks Foundation.
