Calling all Meridian volunteers! Join Rake Up Meridian and help local seniors and disabled residents get their yards cleared and prepped for winter.

How it works:

Form a Team: Gather 5–20 friends, coworkers, or family members.

Set Your Schedule: Raking typically takes place over flexible dates in late October to mid-November—you coordinate the exact day/time with your assigned homeowner.

Bags Provided: Republic Services covers leaf bags; teams just need to bring their own rakes and work gloves!

Sign up your team now at MeridianCity.org/RuM!

Under Construction: Starting Monday, October 5, part of the Small Dog Park at Discovery Park will be under construction for about two weeks as we replace the turf with astroturf.

Dogs are still welcome at the dog park—we just encourage you to be careful around the blocked-off work area.

And if you're looking for a new experience, check out Storey Bark Park on Franklin and Main! Woof woof!
