Pitching In

The best mobile home parks are kept tidy and have a great sense of community. They defy the stigma surrounding “trailer parks” with well maintained homes and public spaces, as well as neighbors who are on a first name basis. The key to fostering these clean, friendly parks is to stage community cleanups. The Perks of Cleanliness Setting aside a day to get the community together and improve the park as a whole has many direct and indirect benefits. Beyond sprucing up the property, tenants will enjoy an improved quality of life and take more pride in their surroundings. Furthermore, when residents feel a greater sense of responsibility for the space they share, it encourages them to take care of their own homes. But how do you pull off one of these cleanup days? Have a Goal Chances are, you won’t be able to make your park utterly spotless overnight. But by setting a specific, achievable goal, you can make great headway. Take stock of your property and find a key issue that needs addressing. Maybe dandelions have gotten out of control, and it’s time for a group weeding effort, or the basketball court

is in desperate need of new backboards and a fresh coat of paint. Finding and fixing a shared pain point for your residents is a great way to get volunteers onboard. Plan Ahead The success of this sort of event depends on plenty of preparation. After setting your goal, you should make sure you have ample supplies and equipment to complete the project and a list of roles for volunteers to fill. You should also start promoting the event early, giving residents plenty of reminders and ample opportunity to sign up. Reward Participation Those who do show up to lend a helping hand definitely deserve to celebrate. Planning an after-party is a great way to encourage participation and grow your park’s sense of community. A simple barbecue and refreshments can go a long way in the summertime! By taking this first step to spearhead positive change in your park, you can have happier residents and a great looking property. You’ll be amazed at the difference you can make.
