The park is becoming a place where people can enjoy themselves,” Michael says. “But we still have more work to do. We want to make a skate-boarding area (滑板区).

They took away the rubbish and started cleaning the lake. They fixed a lot of the seats and bought some new tables. They also planted some flowers and 60 young trees.
Michael told people what they were doing in the park through the newspaper. In six months, about 120 more people joined Park Rescue. The group also arranged concerts and raised money in the street. With these activities and the help of some warm-hearted people, they have raised over £4,000.
“Birds start to come back to the park. The long-closed restaurant is going to open soon. The park is becoming a place where people can enjoy themselves,” Michael says. “But we still have more work to do. We want to make a skate-boarding area (滑板区). And now we need some advice about cleaning the lake.”
