Volunteer: June 26th Trail Maintenance at O'Fallon Park

WHAT: This is a great opportunity to do some trail building and maintenance work in the area hit by the May 2025 tornado. If you have not done this work before, this is a wonderful way to learn.

Participants can work as many hours as they would like.

Turn right on W Florissant for 0.1 miles, stopping at the stop sign at Harris Avenue. Turn slightly right INTO O'Fallon Park [not onto Harris Avenue]. Take the one-way loop road for 0.3 miles. When you see the old ornate boathouse at the east end of the lake, park on the road.
