Thanks to everyone who helped clean up the park and the surrounding streets yesterday. Among other things, we picked up trash and dog poop, and threw away broken chairs.
Attendance was high at our April 23 Earth Day Clean-up. During this cleanup, we took apart the bench that was warped and used the leftover wood to cover up holes in fence. We also re-did the mesh around parameter of fence and added new plants in the bench flower boxes. See our before and after shots below.
Thanks to YaVonne Boyd and the Community Wellness Alliance for putting together another fun Mardi Paws event at the park. We handed out beads, treats, and dog toys and we held a costume constest. Betty won for the most festive; Patty for cutest; and Susie Q for most creative.
