4 Goodgymmers turned up on this sunny Sunday morning at Springfield Park to paint the shelter which needed a new lick of black paint. Welcome new Goodgymmers Charlotte, Marek and Ollie!
We used wired brushes on the pillars to get rid of cobwebs and used white spirit to clean the surfaces. We then focused on the areas of graffiti to paint over, whilst listening to some tunes provided Marek.
This task made a big difference! We will be back to complete the paint job and move some logs to the new forest teaching area.

Help to restore the historic Shelter for the community and improve habitat for biodiversity
Springfield Park is located between Stamford Hill and the River Lee, with views over the Lea Valley. The Park provides lots of opportunities for the local community to access recreational and sporting activities, and connect with nature. In 2017 a restoration project kicked off to restore the park to its former glory. But there is still more to do to enhance the park for the local community and create more habitat for biodiversity. We would love your help!
