LIMPIEZA DE PLAYAS

Superintendent Walter J. Chaves announced the annual spring park clean up activity to be held om Saturday, May 15, 2010 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

The cleanup will take place on the north beach of Castillo San Cristobal, which features  the  historic  Garita  del  Diablo  and  community  of  La Perla. Maintaining this seashore contributes to caring for our environment as well as safeguarding our historical resources.

Volunteers should meet at 8:45AM at Plazita Norzagaray located on the Calle Norzagaray  entrance to Castillo San Cristóbal for grouping in teams and to pick  up  cleaning  equipment.   Participants  are  asked to wear shoes for walking over uneven surfaces and appropriate clothing for the warm weather. It  is  also suggested to bring water and snacks. 

Volunteers will be given the   opportunity   to  visit  the  fortifications  free  of  charge  after participating  in  the  activity.   Children  are invited to stay after the clean  up  to participate in the park's Junior Ranger program which teaches environmental  ethics  and  local  history  through  fun  activities.  Upon completion, children are presented with their own Junior Ranger badge.
