Across two days dedicated to cleaning up San Gabriel Park, about 150 volunteers showed up to help restore the grounds after floodwaters caused damage in July.
On Thursday, July 31, the afternoon sun beat down on those in attendance as volunteers were told what jobs they’d be taking on: leveling the wood chips on the playscape and getting debris off the tops of pavilions.
