			Key efforts include biweekly "Weeding Wednesdays" volunteer sessions focused on horticulture, which have restored vegetation in eroded areas. During the COVID-19 pandemic, they launched a mini "Love Your Park" series to sustain engagement despite canceled events. In 2016, the group celebrated and publicized major renovations—new playground surfacing, seating, irrigation, lighting, and ADA access—resulting in increased family visits, dog-walking spots, and spaces for arts and fundraisers, alongside afterschool programs at the adjacent rec center.
