Saturday the 18th July will see the Millhouses Gala in aid of Macmillan in the Park. Friends of Millhouses Park will be running our ever-popular duck races on the day in support of MacMillan. Races will be on the hour from 11 while 3. Hope to see you there!
Summer Clean Up Success
Thanks to everyone who participated in the clean up; it was good to see such a great turn out. Together We collected 20 bags of litter and pulled up some of the rampant balsam, leaving the park and river looking pristine. The issue of dog owners not cleaning up after their pets remains a big problem. We urge all to help keep the park clean and safe for everyone.
