Volunteers Make a Difference at John Howell Park
The VHCA would like to thank Park Pride and MSL Group for providing 20+ volunteers who spent last Friday morning sprucing up parts of John Howell Park.
These awesome volunteers mulched around the plants along Virginia Ave., sanded a bench near the Phoenix Flies statue in the middle of park and pitched in to help complete an erosion control project between the eastern and central sections of the park. The volunteers – who work for Midtown PR firm MSL Group and were coordinated by Park Pride – went the extra mile in helping improve VaHi’s largest park and we really appreciate their time and efforts.
Thanks again to Park Pride, PP’s volunteer manager John Ahern and the generous, hard-working team from MSL Group!
Scroll down for some photos of the group hard at work last Friday morning.
Volunteers get their assignments and initial instructions from Park Pride’s John Ahern.
The VHCA’s Jack White provides instruction on the fine art of bench sanding while David Brendengerger talks erosion control with volunteers.

Thanks for the help, MSL Group!
What was once a goat path is now an erosion control zone!
That bench is looking fine!!
Anyone else love John Howell Park??
