The BVNA hosts clean-ups at our adopted beach on the 2nd Thursday of the month May-September from 6:00pm-7:30pm.
Get the satisfaction of cleaning your neighborhood beach and take in the fresh air and sunshine. Exploring is encouraged.
We will supply the garbage bags and gloves, you just have to pick up a few pieces of trash. These are not major workouts, so feel free to join us for a bit or for the whole time.
We pick up on an average of 50 pounds of litter on each clean-up. That's a lot! Thanks to everyone's help.

When you find this sign, look towards the lake for a stairway that will lead you down to the beach. This is where the cleanup will be located. Bay View Beach
Did you know that our Humboldt Park personnel (2 full-time and 3 seasonal workers) are also responsible for South Shore, Greene, Tippecanoe, Saveland, Cupertino, Bay View, and Morgan parks? They also service the Bike Trail from Cupertino to St. Francis, and the Mitchell Airport green space at Logan and Whitnall. That's a lot of space to cover!
That's why it's so vitally important that us, residents and users of Bay View Park, do our part to keep it clean, safe, and beautiful for all!
