village news Friends Of Howwood Park Friends of Howwood Park organised some events over the last couple of months.
Easter Scavenger Hunt - 2nd April Each child who found the Easter Bunny’s name - made up of 10 letters which were hidden around the park - was rewarded with an Easter Egg. A good time was had by all, on what was a lovely sunny day.
Litter Pick - Sunday 11th April Two large green bags were filled, albeit this did include litter from nearby surrounding areas including Midton Road, Beith Road and the Rhombus Garden. Our thanks go to Rachel, Alexander, Elish, Gayle, Hazel, Martin, Norma and Craig who helped out on the day.
Did you know... ...that the green picnic tables and benches at Howwood Park are made from recycled milk cartons - and lots of them! Howwood Park has 6 recycled plastic picnic tables and 3 recycled plastic benches. Between them, they are made out of 21,305 milk cartons. That is 21,305 less milk cartons going to landfill, and 21,305 milk cartons possibly ending up in our oceans.
