Friends of UA Parks

Friends of UA Parks brings the community together for a morning of outdoor stewardship at Smith Nature Park. This three-hour program invites families and volunteers to participate in park maintenance and conservation work. Whether you're looking to teach your kids about environmental care, get some fresh air, or simply give back to a local green space, this is a welcoming opportunity for all skill levels. No experience necessary—just show up ready to help. This is a great way to connect with neighbors who share a passion for keeping Upper Arlington's natural areas beautiful and accessible for everyone.
