SW Gas volunteers help clean park
More than 100 Southwest Gas employee volunteers, joined by their families, came together with Get Outdoors Nevada and the city of Las Vegas for a clean-up and revitalization effort at Gary Reese Freedom Park on April 4. The volunteer-driven project resulted in the removal of graffiti and trash, improvements to park equipment and the clearing of a damaged fence to enhance the safety, cleanliness and overall experience of the park for the community.
The event, held as part of Southwest Gas’ BLUE (Building Lives Up Everywhere) volunteer program, highlights the power of local collaboration in strengthening Southern Nevada communities. It builds on the strong partnership between the organizations and the meaningful impact volunteerism can make, following previous efforts like the transformation of Ansan Sister City Park, where Southwest Gas employee volunteers and their families, planted trees and removed more than 400 pounds of trash.
“Events like this truly reflect Southwest Gas’ commitment to serving and uplifting the communities where we live and work. Our employees don’t just serve the community through their daily work, they show up, roll up their sleeves, and give their time to make a real difference,” said Justin Brown, president of Southwest Gas. “Through our ongoing partnerships with Get Outdoors Nevada and the city of Las Vegas, we’re able to create meaningful opportunities to strengthen our neighborhoods and connect people with the outdoors. It’s a commitment our employees take to heart, and one that continues to grow with every project we take on together.”
Get Outdoors Nevada leaders echoed the impact of the collaboration and the importance of continued stewardship of public lands.
“Partnering with organizations like Southwest Gas allows us to expand our capacity and take on projects at a truly meaningful scale — whether it’s park and trail cleanups, or creating gardens and planting trees, our objective is to create lasting, positive improvements for the community,” said Bart Patterson of Get Outdoors Nevada, which is celebrating its 25th year of providing opportunities for Nevadans to experience, learn about, and care for outdoor spaces. “Ultimately, we hope to spark new connections to the park and help visitors discover the resources in their own backyards.”
Last year, Southwest Gas employees volunteered 1,746 hours in support of local nonprofits throughout Nevada. Through hands-on volunteerism and strong community partnerships, Southwest Gas continues to demonstrate its commitment to environmental stewardship and community engagement — helping ensure Southern Nevada’s public spaces remain vibrant, accessible and enjoyable.
“Southwest Gas has been an exceptional partner in supporting the growth and vitality of Las Vegas. As our city continues to expand, their commitment to delivering safe, reliable energy service has helped fuel that progress,” said Marco Velotta, city of Las Vegas sustainability officer. “Just as importantly, they consistently go beyond their core role, working alongside the city and community partners like Get Outdoors Nevada to invest in our neighborhoods, support local nonprofits and build a stronger, more connected community for everyone.”
