Earth Day 2026

Celebrate Nature. Volunteer. Connect.

Colorado Springs parks have banded together for Earth Day 2026. To celebrate, Blodgett Open Space, Palmer Park, and Ute Valley Park are hosting our 5th annual 3 Days 3 Parks event where we gather the community to give back to our parks by volunteering.

2026

Three Parks. Three Days.

In 2026, join us for three days of meaningful volunteer work across our parks. Help remove invasive plants, restore trails, clean up trash, and reseed areas at Blodgett Open Space, Palmer Park, and Ute Valley Park. Each location offers unique opportunities to protect and preserve our natural spaces.
