The Friends of Oak Cliff Parks continue to volunteer in Oak Cliff parks on a limited basis during the summer months. Our work this time of year focuses on routine maintenance of the gardens in Lake Cliff, Kidd Springs, Founders, and Kiest Parks. If you or a group in which you participate would like to volunteer, these are the guidelines we will follow:
1. Volunteer groups will be limited to 10 volunteers at a time in addition to FOCP volunteers. We are sorry that we are unable to accommodate larger groups at this time. If volunteers arrive that exceed the limit of 10, they will be turned away.
2. Volunteers must sign up in advance by contacting info@friendsofoakcliffparks.org Work days will be arranged through that contact with the volunteer coordinator or other FOCP board member. Volunteers will be emailed a Parks Department Volunteer Liability Form which must be signed and brought to the park to be collected by a FOCP volunteer.
3. FOCP volunteers will ensure social distancing for all volunteers by assigning work areas that are at least six feet apart. Oak Cliff parks provide plenty of space for adequate distance between volunteers.
4. Whenever possible, volunteers should bring their own hand tools, gloves, face covering and water. If volunteers do not have these items, FOCP will work with them to provide supplies needed making sure these items are either disposable or disinfected between uses.
5. Family groups may car pool and at the park, families may work together. No children are allowed without a parent or adult supervisor. Volunteers who are not family members should travel separately and safely and will work at safe distances from each other.
