Spring clean up of Murchison Place Park will take place on Saturday, May 4th, 9:00 a.m. until noon. Take along a rake, work gloves and any other useful garden equipment e.g. wheelbarrow. Refreshments will be served. It will be a great time to catch up and clean up after our long winter.
The clean up is taking place early this year as work is being done to the Park throughout May to replace boardwalk. For safety reasons, the Park will be closed to visitors during that time.
