Branching Out

It is beeeea-utiful out there in these summer evenings! Katriona, Joel, Tom and Steve arrived on a warm, sunny evening ready to help this great community project.

Charlene welcomed us to the Pearson Street Adventure Playground to help out with a bundle of tasks. It’s an amazing space, with plenty of slides, zipwires and climbing structures that made us wish we were kids again!

A huge welcome to Tom, here on his very first GoodGym community mission, and a big hello to Justin on his third, plus regulars Katriona and Steve!

Charlene handed out tools and gave us a quick tour of the site, pointing out some of the tasks to be done. Tom and Joel got to work on stripping some branches for firewood and storing them in a handy sheltered space beneath a ramp. Katriona got to work weeding and clearing out space for Tom and Joel, and helped sweep away the (many) cobwebs in the shed. Steve’s bicycle maintenance experience came in handy for sorting donated bikes into salvageable and not-so-salvageable, all to be stored in the newly tidied shed awaiting maintenance.

The hour was over before we knew it, and Charlene was visibly pleased with our help. There’s plenty still to do, and we’ll likely be back very soon!
