On Saturday, May 22, 2010, dozens Fall River residents pitched in to clean-up city parks, including Kennedy Park as part of an day planned by Fall River Park Advocates (Mass In Motion) and the City. Following the clean-ups, all were invited to join a picnic in Kennedy Park put on by Mass In Motion. Neighborhood clean-ups have been scheduled in the Sandy Beach, Father Kelly, Corky Row, Maplewood, Flint, and Meridian Street areas in addition to a City-wide park clean-up scheduled for May 22nd. Tee shirts were also provided and Allied Waste offered to provide free disposal of bulky items and some electronics. Click here to read the announcement.
