Ball’s Bluff Regional Park To Hold “Park Day” on Saturday,
April 5, 2014
Volunteers needed for clean-up efforts, in coordination with Keep Leesburg
Beautiful campaign.
Leesburg, VA (March 28, 2014) – In conjunction
with the Civil War Trust’s annual nationwide
“Park Day” historic site and battlefield
preservation event, and the Town of Leesburg’s
Keep Leesburg Beautiful campaign, the Northern
Virginia Regional Park Authority is hosting a
clean-up event at Ball’s Bluff Regional Park in
Leesburg, on Saturday, April 5, 2014.
The work at Ball’s Bluff will focus on re-mulching
the park trails and brush clearing. The event will
begin at 9:00am. Volunteers are advised to wear closed-toe shoes and to bring gloves.
Volunteers may bring their own rakes and shovels, but should clearly mark these items for easy
identification. Event organizers also suggest that volunteers bring plenty of bottled water. No
pre-registration is needed.
Ball’s Bluff Regional Park’s clean-up day accomplishments will be included in the Town of
Leesburg’s month-long Keep Leesburg Beautiful effort. As a thank you, each volunteer will
receive a free one-day pass to Ida Lee Park Recreation Center. Volunteers do not need to be
Town of Leesburg residents.
For more information about the Ball’s Bluff clean-up event, please contact John Lewis, with the
Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority, at jlewis@nvrpa.org or 703-779-9372.
