Hide AdA spokesman for the group said: “Among the items recovered were a stone bollard and 12 to 15 shopping trolleys.
“There were three ironing boards, three vacuum cleaners, a hockey stick, three car tyres, a wheel from a pram, a good few balls and countless cans and drink bottles.
“There was also about a trolley full of bricks.”
Marion Turner-Hawes from the group said it was a really successful clean-up event and thanked everyone for giving up their time to help.
She said they would like to hold litter picks on a regular basis to help look after the park so it can be enjoyed by all who go there.
