The Ballona Creek Cleanup is the City of Culver City's contribution to Coastal Cleanup Day -- this Saturday, September 20, from 9:00 a.m. till noon.

To participate, just show up at one of these locations, where there are gates affording access to Ballona Creek:

• Syd Kronenthal Park at Washington Blvd. and McManus Ave. (at the bike path entrance)
• Duquesne Avenue (north of Culver City Transportation Building)
• Overland Avenue (behind Julian Dixon Library)
• Sepulveda Blvd. (on Bike/Creek path entrance)

In previous years more than 500 Culver City volunteers have shown up for Coastal Cleanup Day -- with some helping for an hour or so and others staying through the entire event until noon. If you come out, you'll to join more than 15,000 volunteers gathering at 70 different sites all over Los Angeles County to help rid our beaches and inland waterways of trash and debris. Coastal Cleanup Day is an international event, with about 60 countries around the world participating.
