Big thanks to everyone who joined our Park Rangers for yesterday’s community cleanup at Circle Point in Cameron Park! Volunteers of all ages came out to lend a hand and help keep one of Waco’s favorite outdoor spaces clean and beautiful for visitors to enjoy.

Every visit to a Waco park is a chance to help care for these shared spaces. Whether you’re out on the trails, at a playground, or enjoying a picnic, remember to leave no trace and pack out what you bring in.
