PORT ANGELES — Volunteers are invited to help clean up parks Saturday.

Clallam County Health and Human Services and the Port Angeles Parks and Recreation Department will join Revitalize Port Angeles to celebrate Parks & Recreation Month by cleaning four city parks.

Work will be done from 9 a.m. to noon at:

■ Erickson Playfield, Fourth and Race streets (meet in the parking lot).

■ Lincoln Park, 1900 W. Lauridsen Blvd. (meet at the south entrance)

■ Francis Street Park, 400 N. Francis St. (meet at the front entrance).

■ Jessie Webster Park, Third and Eunice streets (meet at the Camp Fire clubhouse).

Community members can help by coming to the park of their choice.

Garbage bags, litter grabbers and latex gloves will be provided. Volunteers also can bring their own work gloves.

A site coordinator at each park will hand out supplies.

Clallam County Health and Human Services will provide an educational brochure called “Get the Point” on how to safely dispose of used syringes that are found in public locations.

Any used syringes will be disposed of at the public health office.

The “Get the Point” brochure and red disposal sticker labels are available at no cost at the Clallam County Public Health Department, 111 E. Third St., or online at http://tinyurl.com/pdn-syringeservices.
