GADSDEN COUNTY PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT TO HOST EXTREME MAKEOVER PARK EDITION AT SHILOH PARK ON JUNE 1
--Community Helpers and Volunteers Needed- -

GADSDEN COUNTY, Fla- -Newly appointed Gadsden County Parks and Recreation Department Director Shawanna Moye announced today that Gadsen County’s first-ever Extreme Makeover Park Edition will be held on Saturday, June 1, at Shiloh Park in Quincy.

“We’re inviting community members to come out and help us Love Where We Live by doing an extreme makeover cleanup at Shiloh Park,” Moye said. “We want our residents and visitors who visit and play in our parks to enjoy themselves in a clean and safe environment. Shiloh is the first park Gadsden County will be performing an extreme makeover on as part of the county’s Love Where You Live campaign. We’ll supply all supplies necessary, including litter pickers, bags, and gloves.”

The Love Where You Live Campaign was created by the Gadsden County Board of County Commissioners to engage the community in reducing litter and pollution in the county. The Gadsden County Parks and Recreation Department plans more Extreme Makeover Park Editions throughout the summer. They will be held rain or shine from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m.

“The goal of these cleanups is to ensure we keep Gadsen County Beautiful and educate park visitors to use the appropriate receptacles,” Moye said. “Wherever possible, we encourage people to take home what they bring to the park, and that will certainly help prevent garbage cans from potentially overflowing.”

We want to celebrate your efforts and the fun you’ll have during the cleanup. All participants are not just encouraged but urged to share their cleanup fun by taking photos and posting them on social media using the hashtags #lovegadsdencountyparks and #extrememakeoverparkeditiongadsdencounty! Let’s show the world the power of our community!

The Shiloh Park Extreme Makeover Park Edition will take place.

9 a.m. until 1 p.m.
Saturday, June 1, 2024
Shiloh Park
100 Park Lane
