Bde Maka Ska Cleanup

  • 31st & E Pkwy Path W 31st & Bde Maka Ska Pkwy Minneapolis (map)

Please meet us on the bike/walk trail near the Sailing Club lawn across from the stairs on W 31st Street to help clean up trash in and around the Lake. We'll have treats and cleanup gear like gloves, buckets, bags, and trash pickers. You may want to wear tall boots to reach trash at the edge of the Lake. Please be cautious as we sometimes find sharp objects.

Thanks to Wheels Fun Rentals, kayaks will be available free of charge for the clean up! Boats will be available from 8:30-10:00 am. Adults 18+ must leave an ID and sign a waiver at the rental desk. Kids under 15 must be accompanied by a parent (maximum of 2 kids), but can go out in separate kayaks. Kids ages 5-9 must ride in a double kayak with a parent. Boaters will take bags, trash grabbers, and gloves to clean floating trash away from the shore.


Our cleanups are Park Steward events, and the Park Board asks that all Park volunteers sign a waiver each year. You can find the 2024 waiver here, or sign one at the clean up:
