We're a husband-and-wife team who, in 2024, decided we were tired of seeing our beautiful parks and waterways buried under bottles, bags, and who-know-what else. So, instead of just grumbling about it, we rolled up our sleeves, grabbed some gloves, and started Pick Up the Parks, dedicated to giving northeast Ohio's natural spaces the deep clean they deserve.

Our mission is simple: Pick up the trash. Protect the parks. Preserve the waterways.
