Join in on Parks Appreciation Day and go to a designated park between 9 a.m. and noon on April 19 where volunteers will trim limbs, groom grounds, comb beaches and plant more flowers and trees. This Metro Parks Tacoma event celebrates Earth Day, Arbor Day, National Parks Week and your local parks as a major county-wide effort with nearly 2,000 other people working in their local parks at the same time.
