First Work Day of the Year!
With temperatures starting to warm up we are getting excited about the re-opening of Lucas Park. All major improvements, minus a Spring fertilizing, are complete and fences will come down this April.
Our monthly clean-ups will start up again on March 22 and will be the 4th Saturday of every month at 9:00am. Please try to make as many of these as possible. We work for only an hour and as we found last year, a clean park is a safe park.

Monthly Park Clean-up
Our monthly park clean up will be Nov. 23rd from 9am-10am. We will be focusing on raking up the fallen leaves as well as litter pick-up. This will be our last clean up for the year so please make an effort to come lend a hand.

Time to Celebrate
One year ago tomorrow over one hundred volunteers gathered in Lucas Park to do something amazing. On that day a park was transformed and has become much more than a playground. It has become a meeting place for parents and a backyard to all of downtown. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has donated their time and money to bringing this much needed change to our neighborhood. Downtown St. Louis, join us to celebrate this morning from 10am-12pm. We will have face painting with Kristen from Thirteenth and Washington, story time with Miss Jonesey from Left Bank Books, games with the Downtown St. Louis YMCA, and of course snacks!
If you haven't yet check out our 2012 year in review to see this amazing transformation.
Posted with BlogsyFinal Improvements Underway
Our final phase of improvements is currently underway. The last bit of grading is being done before grass seed goes down. We ask that you please stay off the newly seeded areas to allow grass to grow. Once this grass is established next Spring, the fences will come down!
The Lucas Park playground is turning one!
Join us on Saturday Sept. 7th from 10am-12pm.
We are going to celebrate with a play date,
