Volunteers are wanted by the Kent City officials to help reconstruct a trail entrance into the northwest corner of Clark Lake Park, at the intersection of Southeast 240th Street and 120th Avenue Southeast.
The work party will run from 9 a.m. to noon June 5 to help celebrate National Trails Day.
All ages and abilities are welcome. Volunteers should bring work gloves and a shovel if they have one, wear sturdy shoes or boots and dress for the weather, as the event is held rain or shine. Pre-registration is required by June 2.
To register, please visit www.Kentwaparks.com, click on volunteer, call 253-856-5110, or email vandrews@ci.kent.wa.us.
Parking is available across the street at Kent Covenant Church. Orientation is at 9 a.m., with coffee and hot chocolate donated by Starbucks. Farrington Court will provide a grilled hot dog lunch to volunteers at the conclusion of the event.
At 130 acres, Clark Lake Park is one of Kent’s largest open spaces. The park features a fishing pier, rough trails, boardwalks, public art and a small parking lot.
