On January 18th, 2021, the Friends of Mifflin Square Park and SEAMAAC co-hosted a service day at Mifflin Square and Weinberg Park as part of the annual Martin Luther King Day of Service. Dozens of volunteers came out to give both parks a mid-winter cleaning and to re-stain and touch up the Super Seating in the south end of the park. Check out the pictures below of our volunteers and thank you to everyone who was able to join!
This Saturday, November 14th from 9am-1pm, is fall Love Your Park Day in Mifflin Square Park! Come on out to help repaint the gathering garden, clean up leaves, improve the super seating, and more! Register at the link HERE to join.
On October 30th, SEAMAAC and friends hosted the final Fall Fridays event at Mifflin Square! Neighbors came out to trick-or-treat, compete in a costume contest, enjoy food from Chef Apple on the SoPhiE Food Truck, and compete in a cornhole tournament. Great partners like Vybe Urgent Care, Spiral Q, State Representative Elizabeth Feidler, U.S. Representative Mary Gay Scanlon, and more added to the festivities. Check out the amazing photos below from Sonny Van Ngo with the Friends of Mifflin Square Park!

Starting on August 6th, 2020, SEAMAAC is re-launching monthly park and neighborhood cleanups. Check out the flyer below and come join!
Although monthly MSP cleanups aren’t in the cards right now, we still want to keep the park clean, safe, and welcoming for all its users! If you have the time, we encourage everyone to go out and collect trash from the park on your own.
Check out the above video and this post from Love Your Park on how you can sign up so that your work is counted, and even get a free cleanup kit while supplies last!
We will share and update this page with more information on resuming group cleanup days as it become available.
