The Creek to Bay Kick-off for all 113 sites around the county was held at
Azalea Community Park. I Love a Clean San Diego organizes this event
around Earth Day. Over 6,000 volunteers came out and removed an
estimated 175,000 pounds of debris. There were ten cleanup sites in City
Heights. At Azalea Community Park, 142 volunteers painted a protective
coating on a new mural by Gloria Muriel, spread mulch, placed tons of pre-
cut trimmings in a greens dumpster, picked up litter, painted the rails at the
Hollywood Park Switchback and painted park benches and tables. Our
Park and Rec staff facilitated the work in the park while the other City
Heights sites were captained by neighborhood stewards and San Diego
Canyonlands staff. It was a great day for San Diego as well as Mother
Earth!
