Annual Park Spring Cleanup
Save The Date! SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 2019 8AM to NOON Here’s why … Over the year, our park shows the wear and tear of the good people who use it, of those who just walk through it, and nature. As they walk by, some special people pick up trash and put it in the trash/recycle cans. Borough trucks empty those weekly. However, some users and walkers leave soda bottles/cans, cups, straws, food wrappers, sandwich bags, cigarette packs, tissues, coats, and even socks on the ground.

What Will it Be?
Swing by the North Franklin side of Marshall Square Park (near Biddle) to see an amazing transformation over the next few weeks. Noted tree carver, Marty Long, is transforming a large tree trunk into a fantastic sculpture. This project came our way after the borough hired a tree service to top and remove a large red oak that dangerously shed limbs near the street. Because of a dispute with the contractor, the work halted, leaving behind a 16-foot tree trunk. That’s when Friends of Marshall Square Park stepped in, seeing an opportunity to turn the loss of a tree into an enhancement ...
