Mill Ridge Park Cleanup

Get Connected Icon Happens On Sep 27, 2025

Description

Join the Compact at a good old-fashioned, family-friendly community litter cleanup at Mill Ridge Park! We’ll be beautifying areas around the playground, lawn, and road before Friends of Mill Ridge Park’s Pear Jam 2025. Hurricane Creek runs along the edge of Mill Ridge Park, so it’s important that we do our part to keep this community green space clean!


After the cleanup, be sure to stick around and enjoy a free evening of food, music, and play at Pear Jam 2025. The Cumberland River Compact will have a table set up, and you may even get to enjoy a special activity! 


What to Bring & Wear to the Cleanup:

  • Comfortable clothing and shoes that can get dirty. We will not be walking through water this time!

  • A hat and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun.

  • Reusable water bottle to stay hydrated and snacks if needed.

 

What We Provide:

  • Gloves, litter grabbers, trash bags, and all necessary cleanup materials.

  • A brief educational talk about water conservation in Nashville!
