Pictures of the event here!

A snapshot of what we accomplished:
-Over 2 miles of trail cleaned up
-7 pounds of Wildflower and native grass seed planted
-40 plus trees mulched
-Tons of trash removed from abandoned campsites
-Nandina shrubs reduced in Northwest corner of Park

We have never pulled out so much trash as this clean up did! We almost completely cleared out one abandoned camp in the park and now only have two more to go!

We are planning a follow up event to finish cleaning the campsite. If anyone wants to help with that, please let us know at: balconespark (a) gmail.com

Volleyball Court has new borders, new sand, new poles and more!

Go out and join a game!
