Volunteer Information

If you have a favorite pair of gardening gloves, please bring them.  If you don’t have any gloves, we have plenty.

We will have tools for you to use(trowels, hand clippers, etc) so you don’t need to bring any.  

We will bring water but if you have your own water, or some other beverage, feel free to bring it.  

Though insect are generally not a problem, there will be bug spray for those who would like use some.

Most of our work is in full sun, so dress accordingly and don’t forget your hat.

We generally work in the mornings from 8 to 10, but be sure to check the schedule as some days vary from this schedule. 

If the temperature gets too hot we stop. During the cooler seasons, we don’t work if the temperature is below 40 degrees at the starting time of the workday. Generally, we cancel if it’s raining steadily.  If the rain is light or brief, we keep on working.

We are required by the Dallas Parks Department to have every volunteer sign a waiver. The waiver is a one time deal.

Though we generally work on Wednesdays and Saturdays, we are happy to set up a workday for groups or companies on alternate days. Contact:   info@friendsofoakcliffparks.org
