Senators particpate in ‘ParKnership’ clean up

Approximately 72 volunteers, including UALR Staff Senate, under the leadership of Director Ron Copeland of the University District, gathered at Curran Conway Park between 24th and 26th street on Saturday, March 8 to give a little TLC to the park grounds.  Volunteers picked up, bagged, and raked trash, limbs, and leaves at the park to improve the look of the park and make it safer for citizens to use.

“We made a visible and strong impact up and down the third base and first base fence lines,” says Director Copeland on Saturday’s progress.
