1. Historic Overlook House Annual Easter Egg Hunt – 9 a.m. Sharp!

We hear the Easter bunny will be appearing at the Historic Overlook House! It’s happening Saturday, April 16th. Thousands of eggs will be available across the back garden. Be sure to arrive early (9:00 a.m.) as these eggs will be gone in minutes! This is a free community event for Overlook neighbors. Donations will gladly be accepted for the “Friends of Overlook House” to help maintain the historic house.

Please Note: Due to continued concerns about large gatherings, please limit numbers to the event as much as possible. This event is encouraged for children five years of age and younger.

2. Spring Overlook Community Cleanup: April 30, 2022

The Overlook Neighborhood Association (OKNA) and Remove By Bike are joining forces for a spring cleanup event, Saturday, April 30! Volunteers will spread out on foot (or wheel) throughout the neighborhood to pick up litter. Haulers with bikes and trailers will be on call to transport bags to waiting dumpsters. If you are interested in being part of the hauling crew, get in touch before the event! Email: removebybike@gmail.com

What’s Provided: Blend Coffee will be providing coffee for our volunteers. SOLVE will provide trash grabbers, bags, work gloves, and high-vis vests. And Advice Booth is excited to host volunteers afterward for a special volunteer discount and Trashy Hour!

What to Bring: Please come wearing comfortable close-toed shoes, and dress appropriately for the weather. Bring a refillable water bottle and a backpack so you can be hands-free. If you have your own grabbers or gloves, please bring them as supplies from SOLVE may be limited. You can also ride your bike if you’d like to use it to get farther afield. And if you have a bike trailer suitable for hauling bagged garbage, all the better!

Parking: Parking near the park is limited. Walking or taking the max is encouraged if possible.

Restrooms: There are no facilities nearby. Please plan accordingly.
We can’t wait to have you join us for Spring Cleanup! Remember to register in advance
