Volunteers of all ages gathered at the future park to help with cleanup and beautification of the area. The park is along Rose Creek with a view of the State Capitol. According to the Rose Creek Park and Trail Facebook page, 85 people helped pick up litter and debris at the kickoff, filling a 30-yard dumpster with trash.
Members of Keep Little Rock Beautiful were on hand with information about the new park, providing drinking water and handing out free T-shirts for volunteers. Keep Little Rock Beautiful is a nonprofit organization that works with residents and businesses to prevent litter, recycle waste and beautify the city.
The cleanup was one of many held across the city that day.
