NEIGHBORS FOR NATURE

Community Pride in Action: Protect, Play, and Preserve. 

A total of 1,411 acres of parkland and a 198-acre lake make Lackawanna State Park the centerpiece of this beautiful, modern recreational facility. Visitors can enjoy hiking, camping, and picnicking, or take to the water with a boat ride, kayak, or canoe rental. Hunters, hikers, horseback riders, and mountain bikers share 15 miles of multi-use trails. These scenic paths wind past the lake, through forests and fields, and along woodland streams. 

To ensure this natural treasure remains clean, safe, and welcoming for generations to come, L.C.O.P. invites the community to take pride in our parks and join our efforts to protect and preserve them. 

 A Call to Community Action: Let’s Take Pride in Our Parks.

Our local parks and gathering spaces are reflections of our community spirit, and they deserve our care. Join L.C.O.P. in keeping these spaces clean, safe, and beautiful. Once a month, we roll up our sleeves and get to work, and you can, too, anytime that fits your schedule.

Whether it’s picking up litter along the roaring brook or clearing debris along the more than 2 miles of wooded walking trails, every effort matters. No sign-up, no fuss, just bring a trash bag, a pair of gloves, and a little community pride.

Keep the Children Playing: A Call to Community Pride.

Let’s take ownership of the places that bring us together. Our parks are more than green spaces, they’re where memories are made and childhoods unfold. Join L.C.O.P. in our monthly effort to keep our parks clean and safe for everyone. Grab a trash bag, take a walk, and help preserve the heart of our community, one step, one park, one piece of litter at a time.  Every effort counts.  

Help keep our park beautiful on your own schedule. Whether it’s picking up litter near the playground, splash pad, basketball courts, baseball or soccer fields or tidying up the wooded walking trail, every small effort makes a big difference. Just bring a bag and a little heart, no registration required! 

Pride in Parks. Power in Community.

McDade Park is Lackawanna County’s premier destination park, home to the Boundless Playground, a large inclusive play space designed for children of all abilities and needs. Spanning more than 200 acres of rolling green space, the park is free for everyone to enjoy and offers hiking, nature trails, and beautiful natural gardens. 

To ensure this community treasure remains safe and welcoming for generations to come, L.C.O.P. is working to keep our parks clean and restore community pride. We invite you to join our efforts in protecting and improving the spaces that bring us together. 

Let’s show pride in our community together. 

Condella Park is one of our community’s treasures, with long walking trails along the Lackawanna River, open green spaces, baseball field, basketball courts, tennis courts, picnic pavilions, and plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors. But like all parks, it needs a little care to keep it beautiful. 

L.C.O.P. is inviting everyone to come out and help with park & trail clean-up efforts. No sign-up required, just bring your dedication, a pair of gloves, and maybe a trash bag or two.

Every little bit of effort makes a big difference in keeping our parks safe, clean, and welcoming for families, walkers, and nature lovers alike. 

 We’d love to hear from you! 

If there’s a park in your neighborhood or community that you think could use some extra care and attention, send us an email and let us know. Whether it’s litter clean-up, planting flowers, or general maintenance, we’re always looking for new places to make a difference. Tell us the name of the park and why you think it should be our next project, we’re here to help bring positive change, one park at a time!
