The Chicago Metropolitan Baseball Association (CMBA) would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who came out for our Earth Day cleanup at Winnemac Park.
With 20+ volunteers from the Hawks, Hounds, and Electrons—and support from friends, family, and the community—we made a real, visible impact on the park.
Together, we:
- Helped build a new mulch path and improve park trails
- Removed significant amounts of trash and organic waste
- Got a head start on clearing invasive species
Beyond the work itself, the event was a strong step forward in establishing the CMBA as an active, reliable partner in the community. Event coordinators shared their appreciation, and it’s clear our presence made a difference, for the park and everyone who uses it.
Despite iffy weather, the turnout and energy made it a genuinely great experience and a promising start to what we hope becomes a lasting tradition.
Our next community event will take place after the postseason, and we’re already looking forward to building on this momentum.
Thanks again to everyone who showed up, pitched in, and helped make it happen.
