Otay Lakes County Park Cleanup & Beautification

Sunday, March 29th, 2026 | 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

Join us for a day of service in honor of Cesar Chavez, a powerful civil rights and labor leader who advocated for better wages, working conditions, and human rights for farmworkers. We will be coming together for a morning of stewardship at Otay Lakes County Park as we care for and enhance this beautiful natural space. This volunteer event focuses on restoring trails, improving park landscapes, and keeping the park clean and welcoming for all visitors.
