Volunteer group

The park stays open because someone shows up.

A friends group for Echo Park: litter days, planting, and a voice when the fence is about to come down.

What we do

Work days

Dates on a board, gloves provided.

Planting

Natives, not a random mix.

Watch

Lights, gates, the one path that floods.

Tools in a shed

Gloves provided. Tea after. Minutes online.

The fence watch

Lights, gates, the path that floods — a voice before it becomes a meeting theatre.

Natives, not a random mix

Planting with a list, not a guilt event.

Who this is for

Neighbours

Who use the park and will pick up a grabber.

The council

When a friends group is a partner, not a complaint choir.

Young people

Who want a task, not a lecture about nature.

How a typical job runs

  1. 1. Join a work day

    Date on a board. All welcome if they can take instruction.

  2. 2. The unglamorous hour

    Litter, planting, a conversation with the council that is not a protest every weekend.

  3. 3. Minutes

    What we asked, what they said.

  4. 4. Next date

    We publish it. We do not guilt you if you miss one.

About Friends of Echo Park

We do the unglamorous work with the council, not a protest every weekend. Tools in a shed, tea after, minutes online.

Friends of Echo Park will not turn Echo Park into a brand. We will turn up with gloves.

Mud and tetanus are real. Closed shoes, please.

Questions people actually ask

Do I need to be fit?
There is sitting work. Say what you can do.
Kids?
Yes with an adult. Tools have a line.
Is this political?
The fence is political. We still do the planting.
Donations?
Tools and plants on our list. Random shrubs often die.
