Volunteer Workday

FCRC Family,

The upcoming Spring Baseball season will be here before we know it and its time to get our community ballpark ready. We're calling on any and all volunteers willing to help to join us at the ballpark this coming Saturday, February 22nd starting at 9am. Activities will be going on the majority of the day so if you can't be there right at 9am, feel free to come out when it works best with your schedule. For those that came out the last two Saturdays, your efforts made a big difference around the ballpark and we greatly appreciate you volunteering your time and assistance and hope to see you again this coming Saturday. We have listed some of the remaining activities below that we will be working on so that you can judge what to bring.

Fieldwork at various locations (gloves, rakes, shovels, skid-steer loader)
Trimming back and removing vegetation in various areas around the ballpark (gloves, clippers, blowers)
Leaf blowing (leaf blowers, fuel)
Tree cutting / trimming, hauling, and cleanup (gloves, chain saw, ropes, safety cones, caution tape, truck, blowers, fuel)
Pressure washing (pressure washers and hoses)
Minor demolition around the ballpark and hauling debris to dumpsters (gloves, safety glasses, truck, concrete saw, skid-steer loader, tools)
Removal of roof shingles at Field 5 (gloves, safety goggles, ladders, tools, magnet for nails)
Removal of wooden bleachers at Field 1 (gloves, wrenches / socket sets)
Minor plumbing and electrical work around the ballpark (plumbers and electricians)

Special request - If anyone has a skid-steer loader (i.e. bobcat), this would be helpful to use on some of the activities listed above.

If you are available to help out at the ballpark this Saturday, please send us an email at [email protected] so that we can get an idea on how many can come and what you can bring so that we can plan accordingly. We will be meeting at the Rec Center at 9am to get things started. Lunch will be provided.

Thanks for supporting Fountain City Recreation Commission. We're looking forward to seeing you out at the ballpark.
