Clean streets in the sky at Park Hill
4 GoodGymers made their way to help the Park Hill Residents’ Association Litter Pick in Sheffield.
- Saturday, 29th of May 2021
- Led by Sheffield runner
Goodgymers joined Park Hill Residents Association, Sheffield litter pickers and some Facebook event enthusiasts to litter pick around Park Hill.
Recently CCTV has been installed at the top of the amphitheatre plus extreme fencing to stop 'party central' as Sheffield Litter pickers enthusiastic and Friends of Sheaf Valley Park Member, Linda, named it. Kate, who lives at Park Hill and is behind the beautiful wild flower meadows was wondering what 'party central' was and a thorough discussion about how people use nitrous oxide was then had.
The extreme fencing means that people enjoy chucking McDonald's wrappers and nitrous oxide canisters out of their cars a bit further down but it wasn't so bad and the lovely planting is hiding a lot too.
We picked South Street, Talbot Street and Duke Street as a gang of about 15 or so people.
After our 2 hours of picking on the first day of summer, we met a couple of other goodgymers for brunch and coffee at South Street Kitchen before a resident gave us a tour of Park Hill and we learnt more about the place.
A new bench has been installed at Park Hill and the table tennis court is waiting to be played so picnics may be planned.
The Park Hillers do a litter pick the last Saturday of every month and have litter pickers, gloves and bags and it's certainly making a difference as it's looking really clean! A really nice group of people and the cafe has an all day brunch so worth a visit too.
Thank you everyone!
