The Friends of the OMI Mini Parks is kicking off its new “Pop Ups In the Parks” series of events, starting with a Nov. 19 morning event at the Randolph-Bright Mini Park.

A storytime event will take place at the park for kids aged two to three with their caregivers from 10:30 to 11 a.m., but not before a community clean up event at 9:30 a.m., event organizers said. The clean up will include the park site and the surrounding area of the park, including along Randolph Street from Orizaba Street to Junipero Serra Boulevard.

Organizers said to wear comfortable shoes, clothes and to bring work gloves. Refreshments will be available following the cleanup and storytime events.
