Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Leanne (she/her)
A merry band of Goodgymmers met at Westbank Park to continue their mission to make it non-slip in the current icy weather.
We welcomed Kay who has come back to Goodgym after joining some group runs a few years ago. She also brought her son, Dan who wanted tag along to see what it was all about before deciding whether to join Goodgym himself.
There was still a fair amount of grit on the ground from the previous day's effort, so it was a quick case of checking for bare patches and topping up where needed.
We finished in record time, and were rewarded with a lovely snow shower.
Conservation work, edible planting, annual fairs and Christmas carols, pop-up cafes, fundraising to develop the park and playground, campaigning against cuts to the park's budgets, locking and unlocking the park each day and night, involving the community in decision-making about the park, children's and family activities, volunteering opportunities, etc etc!!
