Save the date!
The second Heritage Park Cleanup Day has been scheduled for 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, May 2.
Last year's initial Heritage Park Cleanup Day was a huge success. Created by resident Jim Taylor and manned by a horde of volunteers, the cleanup attracted nearly 270 people, 15 sponsors, prizes totaling approximately $1,100 and resulted in five truckloads of trash being carted out of Taylor's largest park.
Those involved, many of whom traveled to the park from outside the City, had a load of fun and left the park cleaner than it was in a long time. The Heritage Park Cleanup Day also started a string of volunteer cleanup days across the community that lasted the entire year.
Thanks to last year's success, this year's emphasis will be slightly different. The group will gather in the Sheridan Center Open Air Pavilion for registration and group direction. The cleanup will then focus on the west end of the facility, including the Pardee Street entrance to the parkway, and all around and in Coan Lake.
Groups will still be sent out to clean areas deeper in the park, but other groups will not only pick up trash and debris, but work on flower beds, trim bushes, throw mulch, etc.
More information will be published on this website between now and the event.
If you have questions or concerns, please contact Jim Taylor at (734) 666-8968 or email him at bozko1@outlook.com.
