Logan County Parks Coalition
invites community to smash, splash, and compost their pumpkins this
November
[October 15, 2025]
Logan County, IL — This
November, keep your pumpkins out of the landfill and put them to
good use! The Logan County Parks Coalition is thrilled to host its
third-annual Pumpkin Smash & Splash — a fun, family-friendly event
that turns your leftover fall décor into compost that helps local
gardens grow.
Bring your pumpkins to the Lincoln Community Garden Project on
Saturday, November 15, from 9 a.m. to noon for the Pumpkin Smash.
Tools will be provided so you can safely smash your pumpkins — all
of which will be composted to enrich local soil.
Then, keep the fun rolling at
Kickapoo Creek Park from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. for the Pumpkin Splash,
where you can drop your pumpkins off the suspension bridge and watch
them make a satisfying splash below!
If you’re unable to attend on November 15, you can still participate
by dropping off your pumpkins at designated locations throughout
Lincoln between November 1–14, 2025:
