New condo owners and long-time residents are invited to help clean-up the parks in Mount Vernon Triangle on Saturday, April 26 from 9:00-12:00 noon.  Mount Vernon Triangle Community Improvement District is sponsoring the clean-up beginning at the pocket parks at 5th and Massachusetts Avenue NW and working east to the large DC park at 2nd and Massachusetts Avenue, NW.

Residents are asked to wear work clothes, bring their work gloves and strong backs to help rake the grass, pick up trash, shovel muck, and prune low-hanging branches.  Rakes, brooms, pruners, and trash bags will be provided.

After the clean-up, a free walking tour of the neighborhood will begin at 1:00 p.m. starting from Mount Vernon Square as part of Walking Town DC, lead by Bill McLeod, executive director of Mount Vernon Triangle Community Improvement District.
