It’s Love the Boot Week in Louisiana, and Pelican Playgrounds is showing love to our home state. This week, owner Lauren Knight, Leah, and Grace helped clean up City Park in New Orleans in celebration of Earth Day. Here are 10 things you can do to show appreciation for our parks and playgrounds.

Parks and playgrounds are community spaces to gather, play and relax. We are so lucky to live in a world with beautiful resources such as our city parks. We need to act together to protect the planet we live on. We hope you all have a great Earth Day this month and continue to use our parks.
