Resident says 52 volunteers signed up to help restore Geneva Jungle
Summary
Registered public commenter Jade Wolf told the agency she polled community members and collected contact information for 52 volunteers willing to help with repair, fundraising and painting for a Geneva Jungle restoration effort.
During public comment, Jade Wolf said she ran a quick poll on Facebook and secured 52 volunteers willing to support short-term repair and longer-term rebuild options for Geneva Jungle Playground.
"52 volunteers signed up," Wolf said, and she described interest in a mix of hands-on labor, painting and small-dollar donations ($50–$100 were mentioned in comment replies). She also said the Melrose Sketchers Club plans to paint at the park entrance next Thursday and offered to contribute an original piece for auction or reproduction for fundraising.
Council members thanked Wolf for organizing community interest and urged volunteers to coordinate with staff to ensure safety and compliance with parks and recreation rules.
