Get out into nature, meet new friends, and help create a healthier river for wildlife and people!
Join us for our monthly Community River Clean-Ups that make a huge impact. Each year, San Diego River Park Foundation volunteers remove more than 200,000 pounds of trash from our River.
This month's cleanup is part of Surfrider Foundation's Morning After Mess and is one of the many locations where community members will clean trash left behind on our coastlines from the July 4th holiday.
Join this special effort to remove trash from Dog Beach and the San Diego River Estuary and help ensure it does not harm incredible biodiversity of wildlife found in this sensitive habitat or wash into our ocean!
We hope you can join us for a rewarding morning of environmental stewardship, community connection, and positive impact alongside like-minded neighbors and new friends!
Location: Park in the Dog Beach Parking lot. Closest address is 5156 W Point Loma Blvd, San Diego, CA 92107. Meet in the grass field behind the Ocean Villa Inn, next to our pollinator garden!
