Lyon Park’s Annual Mulch Spreading Event is Saturday, April 22, 2023, from 9:00 a.m. to noon. Volunteers are needed to load curbside piles of mulch into wheelbarrows and spread it around the base of the park’s 60 trees. The mulch gives the park a tidy appearance and provides many essential benefits.

Since Lyon Park is privately owned by the community we rely on volunteers for maintenance of its grounds and trees. Volunteers save the community over $2,000 by spreading the mulch instead of hiring a landscape firm. The event is also a great family activity, including for teens who need service hours. Please bring a bottle of water, work gloves, and, if you have them, a wheelbarrow, pitchfork, or hard rake.
