Santee Park Watch Volunteers Sought for San Diego River Trail

SANTEE, CA — If you already walk or ride the San Diego River Trail, you might be a perfect candidate to serve as a Park Watch volunteer at Mast Park, Town Center Community Park or Walker Preserve.

A Park Watch training will take place from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 10 at Mast Park, 9125 Carlton Hills Blvd. in Santee.

According to a city of Santee Facebook post, volunteers inspect the parks for graffiti and vandalism and take notes on who is using the parks.

"All it takes is one hour a week to contribute to a safe, clean and healthy park system," according to the post.

Volunteers receive comprehensive training and can earn a Park Watch T-shirt after four outings.

No commitment to participate is required for those interested in attending the Sept. 10 training, organizers said. For more information and to RSVP, contact DeVerna at 619-297-7380 or volunteer@sandiegoriver.org.
