Join the Crew. Build the Trails. Make a Difference.
Little Mountain Park’s trails don’t build themselves—but with your help, they can keep growing and thriving. The Little Mountain Trail Crew, an initiative of the Mount Vernon Parks Foundation (MVPF), is a volunteer-driven program dedicated to expanding and maintaining the trail system at Little Mountain Park. Since 2009, our volunteers have built and cared for over ten miles of sustainable, multi-use trails, creating safe and enjoyable spaces for hikers, runners, and mountain bikers.

Support the Trail Crew
Donate to Keep the Trails Strong
Every shovel, rake, and work session relies on community support. Your donation helps fund trail-building tools, safety gear, training, and materials. Contributions also support ongoing improvements, such as trail signage and a GPS-powered map app (developed with REI) to enhance navigation for all park visitors.
Your support keeps the trails open and safe—every dollar makes a difference. [Donate Now →]
