July 2021 Updates: Park Cleanups, Puppies + Toddlers, Flora and Fauna - Oh My!
Summer Swing into Action!
Meet your neighbors, make a difference and volunteer a few hours this summer.
Mark your calendars! Esprit Park Work Party
Saturday, August 14th, 10AM - 1PM
On April 24th, FoEP Volunteer Gardeners hosted Rec & Park’s first work party since Covid restrictions were implemented. Now we’re following up on that with an August work party, where we’ll be spreading mulch, weeding, watering, planting, pruning trees and bushes, among other activities. Bring your own gloves and no open-toed shoes, please. Refreshments and light snacks will be provided.
Toddler/Puppy Workshop
There’s been an explosion of toddlers and puppies in Dogpatch! With the end of over a year of sheltering in place, there’s a new world to explore for both. Help design a toddlers and puppies workshop(s) with the help of subject matter experts to model best practices and tips to have fun and stay safe.
Esprit Walkabout
Like the idea of a docent tour of Esprit Park flora, fauna, ground cover and systems, either because you know all the answers or don’t have a clue? Join the team that will plan and launch this educational tour!
Strike a Pose!
Submit photos of you and others #LovingEspritPark. Every month, we’ll highlight a few on the FoEP website.
