Community Cleanup along the S. Platte River & Overland Pond | Denver

Join CGPC, GreenLatinos Colorado, Friends of Animals (FOA) and Denver Parks & Rec for our September cleanup along the South Platte River and Overland Pond!

Join us for the full event, or for however long you can!

Community members collect trash and make the environment a safer place for birds, turtles, fish, and other animals to live.

Staging Ground: Between Overland Pond and the S. Platte River, North of the Parking lot.

There is a parking lot off Florida Ave, just East of S. Platte River Dr.

Our cleanups are all-ages, family-friendly events that provide a safe and humane activity that helps wildlife in our community and allows community members to become better acquainted with the lake ecosystem and to learn about local conservation efforts.

Please join us for our September 6th cleanup along the S. Platte River and Overland Pond. Let's help clean the lake for the migratory Canada Geese, waterfowl, birds, and wildlife that rely on the its water!
