Another clean up of Mount Prospect Park
The summer is a busy season of get together, birthdays, picnics, meeting with friends, and Mount Prospect Park is a favorite in the neighborhood. However, the NYC Parks also had its budget cut and the trash cans are overflowing.
It was time to do something. A team of volunteers came today to provide some TLC to the park. Lots of trash was picked up and some weeding was also done (see before and after photos).
THANK YOU ALL!
