Friends of Reed Bingham made a significant impact on Your State Parks Day by transforming the park’s flagpole area. In partnership with park staff, the group replaced landscape timbers, refreshed the plantings, and enhanced the space with new pavers and mulch. Their hard work and generosity created a more welcoming and accessible area for all visitors. This project is an excellent example of what can happen when dedicated volunteers come together to support their park. Join a Friends group and be part of the difference—volunteer today and help our parks grow and thrive.
