The Geneseo Park District Foundation is hosting a Play it Forward Sports Equipment Swap in an effort to keep good quality sporting equipment in circulation, provide low-cost sporting equipment and support the Geneseo Park District Foundation in providing free Community events and offering financial assistance for Park District memberships and programs.

Anyone with “gently used sports equipment” can drop off the items between Feb. 1 and March 1 at the Geneseo Community Center, 541 East North St., and those who donate will receive a $5 voucher.

The Community Center is open from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

Equipment left at the Center should be:

-“Gently used” or like new (see list of acceptable items).

-All items must be cleaned before donating.

-A complete list of what is and is not accepted is on the park district website.

-Limit one voucher per person.

There will be two days to shop at the SWAP which will be held at the Geneseo Park District Athletic Field Sideline Room, 407 East North St.

-From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 9.

-From noon to 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 10.

-Most items will be priced at $1, $5 or $10.

-Shoppers must have cash to purchase and they are asked to provide their own shopping bag.
