Please give a little of your time to help keep our parkland beautiful! We must increase our awareness and keep it from being destroyed and defaced by thoughtless individuals. It is a beautiful place for all to enjoy! Woodland Run Park is a natural environment and home to deer, fox, racoons, squirrels and many beautiful bird species.

Please help maintain awareness and put a stop to those that litter and deface this beautiful place.
Let’s keep it beautiful and safe for our families!
Volunteers will meet by the ball field between 8:45 and 9:00 the morning of the 26th.
Trash bags, gloves and poker sticks will be provided. Please call 302 994-5696 for
