Work is being done to make this park a conservancy after it fell into a state of decay with vagrants living here and the municipality not maintaining it adequately. It will be called the Gardens Conservancy and it runs from behind Norwood Mall from the listed coordinates (next to Hamlin Street) to African Street. The entire park was fenced off in 2015 in preparation for major clean ups to improve it. The park has been locked for over a year as it is slowly cleaned up. I have liaised with the Residents Association so that us geocachers can also help out and make this project a success. Four CITOs were held here last year and now I have finally scheduled the next one!
Date: Sunday 30 July 2017
Time: 14:00 - 16:00
Please note that you do not need to attend for the entire two hours and can help for as long as you want! Any help will be greatly appreciated.
What to bring and wear:
-A hat
-Gloves
-Sturdy shoes
-Bottle of water
-A saw, litter grabber and gumboots if you have
Bags will be provided for litter. Poison will be provided for the stumps of the bugweed.
I will also provide water and soap to wash your hands afterwards.
You can either park at the fast food outlet or across from the park - please see the listed parking coordinates. We will meet at the listed coordinates and then spread out along this park to cut down bugweed and pick up litter.
I hope to see you there!
