                                 Parkmead Community Cleanup Day

                                                Meet at Parkmead Elementary School at 10am

Spend just a few hours helping to keep our neighborhood and school beautiful.  Work will include cleaning, clearing, weeding and trimming at the school, repair and maintenance of the Newell Ave. pathway, and weeding at the intersection of Newell and Olympic Blvd. 

       
The event is co-sponsored by Parkmead Elementary School, Hillside Covenant Church, and the Parkmead Community Association.

       
Bring work gloves if you have them - gardening tools are helpful but not mandatory.  Kids are welcome, as long as there is a participating adult along too.

10th Annual Garage Sale

More than 50 homes participate in our community-wide yard sale.



        Last year 55 of your neighbors made some extra cash as they cleaned out their garages and made this Walnut Creek’s biggest garage sale.

        The Parkmead Community Association provides publicity for the sale, shopping maps to guide buyers to participating homes, and mailbox balloons to participants. 

We ask that participants pay the annual PCA dues of $12.   

           
Questions or Sign up to participate in the sale  Garage@parkmead.org
