Description

To the Parks Department for meticulously cleaning the litter at this park yesterday. It looked beautiful -- for a day. Some people partied hard at a picnic bench yesterday and left their mess. Although fair to say the trash bins were full.

Can we copy some of East Rock Park's colorfully painted trash bins, exhorting people to "Pitch in" and "Keep Our Park Clean and Green?" How about some signage AT the picnic spots along the lines of "It's your park, help keep it clean." Also at the basketball court.

Isn't it worth a try to appeal to the better nature of most people?
