FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) The City of Fresno hosted its first neighborhood blitz revitalization project in northeast Fresno on Saturday.
More than 80 people rolled up their sleeves to clean up Cary Park including the Fresno State football team.
This is all a part of Mayor Jerry Dyer s program designed to repair and revitalize select neighborhoods in Fresno.
Volunteers picked up trash pickup, re-painted the street numbers on the curbs and even replaced street signs among many other tasks.
This is also in collaboration with District 4 Councilmember Tyler Maxwell, and local organization Beautify Fresno.

The city is celebrating the launch of its Beautify Fresno department.
The program is focused on cleaning up trash-filled areas and bringing residents together to improve the quality of their neighborhoods.
Organizers say clean-up events are just the beginning of what the department could do for the city. Through the department of Beautify Fresno, we can focus those efforts to set up those programs like adopt a park, alley and it will also look for opportunities to sign up for events like tree planting and community gardens, says Mark Standriff.
