Five Rivers MetroParks celebrates National Make a Difference Day on Saturday, Oct. 25, from 9 AM to noon! Community members of all ages, accessibility levels, and backgrounds are invited to volunteer at various sites throughout Five Rivers MetroParks to help us clean up our parks and prepare for the winter season. Make a Difference Day is a great way to get outside and give back this October! Register your family, friends, or work group, and get everyone outside to make a difference! Registration is required.
