Community Cleaners help keep Berario’s parks thriving
Story 1
Volunteers from the non-profit Community Cleaners gathered on Sunday to maintain King and Wilson Park, showing how regular community effort can improve public spaces.
Once overgrown and difficult to manage, the park now benefits from consistent upkeep, which helps discourage litter, reduce vagrancy, and strengthen community ties.
Community Cleaners currently manage 14 of the 17 parks across Fairland, Berario, and Northcliff, covering about 60 acres.
Around 15 volunteers dedicate their weekends to the initiative, inspiring other residents to contribute, whether by picking up litter, donating equipment, or supporting the group financially
