Free supplies. Family-friendly. All are welcome.

The Chicago Parks Foundation provides volunteer groups with supplies and support to independently host clean-ups at any of Chicago’s 600+ parks.

In 2020, the CPF launched our first ever citywide volunteer park clean-up initiative. Thanks to outstanding community enthusiasm, the effort has quickly grown and we have supported thousands of volunteers for hundreds of clean-up events!

Our PIFTP season runs June through October, kicking off with It’s Your Park Day on June 1st.

2024 Season is now over! Thanks for your interest, and subscribe to stay updated about our 2025 season.

Pitch In for the Parks 2024 was generously supported by Presenting Sponsor Chicago Association of REALTORS®, and in part by Boxed Water and Move-Tastic.
