For this week’s task we returned to one of our longstanding tasks, Alexandra Recreation Ground, and their current project to repaint the metal fence that extends around the children’s play area. Last year we helped scrape the paint off the Alexandra Road side of the fence before the park’s Friends group repainted it, and this year they’re doing the Maitland Road side.

The GoodGym group met at the Bridge House before we took the short run along the High Street, into Penge Lane and under the railway bridge, then up Parish Lane to meet Millie.

She doled out wire brushes and we got to work, scraping off old paint and lichen. 40 minutes of work got the fence looking less flakey - a great start to this round of work.
