We are celebrating Earth Day on April 19th 2025! There are so many reasons to be grateful for our planet, and Earth Day is the perfect time to reflect and take action.

Every day is Earth Day in the Park District, and there are all kinds of ways to celebrate and honor the Earth. Join us for an Earth Day-themed activity, take a hike or ride in nature, or volunteer at an Earth Day clean-up event in a park or in your neighborhood. Events are scheduled throughout the month of April.

Earth Day is both a celebration of the natural environment we enjoy in the Regional Parks, and a reminder of our responsibility to take care of it. This year’s Earth Day theme is Planet vs. Plastics and advocates for an overall reduction of plastics worldwide. This includes investment in the land, resources, and people to support this unique system of natural and cultural resources and open spaces. Preservation of parks and trails is a core part of the Park District’s mission.

Join us at multiple locations throughout the East Bay Parks to help complete meaningful projects Park District-wide. Register by clicking the green sign-up button on the location and project you are interested in below. While some of our projects happily accept walkup volunteers, some require pre-registration. Thank you!

Dear Madrone Residents,

Please find below the flyer for Madrone’s next event.

Thank you!

Dairy Queen is welcoming the arrival of spring with its annual Free Cone Day on March 20, 2025. Customers can visit participating locations across the U.S. to enjoy a free small vanilla cone, available all day while supplies last.

The event is open to all, with a limit of one cone per person. Non-mall locations will offer the cone for free, while participating mall locations may require a purchase. This long-running tradition is Dairy Queen’s way of celebrating the season and sharing its signature soft-serve with fans of all ages.

In addition to Free Cone Day, Dairy Queen supports children’s healthcare through its Dip It For Kids and Round Up For Kids initiatives, benefiting Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

For more details, visit Dairy Queen’s website.

There’s not a DQ in San Francisco proper, but there’s plenty a short drive away. But take note that this deal is typically only for non-mall locations.

The free deal is only at “participating” DQs (you’ll probably have to call the store to confirm).

Bay Area locations include: Antioch, Campbell, Concord, San Bruno, San Ramon, Vacaville, plus a few others in the greater Bay Area.
