The park is more than two acres and is located in the Colonial Heights neighborhood, at 5315 19th Ave .

It contains a partial basketball court, picnic and play areas, a softball field and a wading pool.

The cleanup is scheduled from 9 a.m. to noon and will include staff from the city, Caltrans and Clean California, as well as artist Jessica Wimbley, according to a news release.
