Park Disaster

On any given weekend, Hart Park is a relatively a decent hang out. Take a sunny walk with the family along the river, or enjoy an evening of ferocious ducks ready to attack left overs from your BBQ, as you try to escape to your car. All good fun.

But, low and behold the remnants of the party. Left behind on the previously beautiful views is the litter.

Hart Park can be an enjoyable place given that it’s visitors keep it clean. It only takes a moment to pack a trash bag with the rest of the gear before heading out. It takes a moment to pick up the trash while packing up for the evenings end. Once filled, it can simply be placed in one of the many huge trash cans waiting. Sorry for the sarcasm. It seems easy enough, but it rarely is done.



What to do about the broken concrete and rotted pipes? Now that I think about it maybe I should make a call and find out. They are usually found in areas of water irrigation. Occasionally you might find these articles have been carried to a peninsula of the river. I suppose some pieces would make for good seating.

There is an infestation of feline, weathered stone, and structures that are falling apart, such as the old water mill. These things are both a nuisance and what make the trip out to the park worth while and unique.
