We are the stewards of Children's Memorial Park

Kino has signed on with Tucson Clean and Beautiful to be responsible for Children's Memorial Park. Located right along the Rillito River, southwest of the Oracle and River Road intersection, this is a special little park with a playground, picnic area, sports fields and memorial plaza.
As the park's stewards, we are responsible for visiting it at least a couple times a month, cleaning up any trash, and reporting any damage to the equipment there.
Because the park is so close to Kino, it is a perfect destination for homeroom parties, picnics, or field trips specifically for community service. Kino families may also enjoy visiting the park on weekends.
A representative from Tucson Clean and Beautiful met with Anna, Jennifer, and Heather and explained our responsibilities. For every visit, there's a work sheet to fill out. Then we compile a monthly summary to send in.
If we are good for three months, then there will be a ceremony officially installing us as the park's stewards and we'll get a plaque at the park.
