Updated May 4, 2011: Over 300 volunteers pitched in for better park on the Day of Service and Kick Off Events. That was well over 900 hours of volunteer service!
The City of Elkton would like to thank the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints for choosing our project to support this year. We now have beautifully painted dugouts, picnic tables and concessions building, shiny like new fences, and colorful new landscaping around the park and the cleaned and stained gazebos. We especially want to thank everyone who volunteered to help make the City-County Park a more enjoyable place for our community.

Press Release: The City of Elkton and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are partnering together for “Pitching in for a Better Park.” Hundreds of people are expected to volunteer their time to make much needed improvements in the City-County Park located on South Main Street in Elkton.
The “Kick Off Event” will be held on Saturday, March 26th at 9:00 am at the park. There will be a short Kick Off Ceremony followed by rolling up our sleeves and starting to work! This day includes a lot of scraping and washing to help prepare for painting and repairs to be done on the “Pitching in for a Better Park” Day of Service Event, which will be held on Saturday, April 9th from 9 am to 3 pm.
Some of the projects include chain link fencing repairs; painting fences, dugouts and more; cleaning and staining walking trail bridges and gazebos; repairing swings; landscaping; repairing and painting picnic tables.
We would like to invite you, church groups and community groups to volunteer during either one of these events. We have a particular need for anyone skilled in the work to be performed mentioned above. And, any donations of paint, gloves, pressure washers, and more will be greatly appreciated.
