We Cleaned, We Painted, We Beautified!

EXCLUSIVE REPORT: MoVal Volunteers Came Together to Help Beautify Two City Parks

On Saturday, February 8, residents, City staff, and members of the City Council came together for our first Beautify MoVal Community Day of Service of 2025.

After a welcome ceremony with coffee, pastries, vendor booths, and a fun raffle, scores of volunteers set off to beautify Towngate Park and Rockridge Park.

This was the first of multiple Beautify MoVal events that take place throughout the year. For more information, or to sign up for future events, visit moval.org/beautify.
