Wilmington State Parks welcomes work, school, and other groups interested in scheduling a service project for their teams, classes, etc. Sites include Brandywine Park, Rockford Park, H. Fletcher Brown Park, Happy Valley Park, and Kentmere Parkway.
A group service project is a great way to provide your organization with an opportunity:
- To give back to the community or to learn about the value of service
- To promote team building or to learn to collaborate
- To embrace a new challenge together or to step outside a comfort zone in a safe, fun, and social setting
- To learn about Delaware State Parks operations and to see the impact of the group’s service
- To take a break from the office, warehouse, classroom, etc., and enjoy the great outdoors
- To accumulate service hours collectively
The types of group service projects available are based on seasonal needs at Wilmington State Parks, progress of the park’s improvement projects, and other factors. Service projects for school groups may prioritize educational value and are intended to be age-appropriate.
Types of seasonal group service projects include:
- Garden maintenance and care
- Control of invasive plants and vines
- Playground maintenance (e.g., mulching, raking)
- Trail maintenance and care
- Litter cleanup
Coordinators for group service projects may RESPOND AS TEAM to this opportunity and ask about scheduling a date and time that is compatible with the group’s schedule. Coordinators are also welcome to RESPOND AS TEAM to a scheduled service project if there are enough available shifts.
Note: The project site’s address may differ from the park’s address and will be provided during scheduling of a group service project.
