Is anyone else being bitten by small black flies between 8 and 9am in Collingwood. For the last week I have had them landing and immediately biting. They leave a welt and single piercing. My arms are now covered in bites. Friends walking with me do not get bitten!

Having the intelligence, ingenuity and skills to make pretty impressive pinhole projectors, why is it considered acceptable to simply dump them in the park afterwards for someone else to clear up?
Did you not have the skills to flatten them and put them in one of the many bins? (Not all of them are full!) Or, even better… TAKE THEM HOME!
Making something clever is great. Making someone else clean up after you isn’t. 🤷‍♀️

Sorry for the late notice. I have just seen this. I don't know if 'wreck' is a freudian slip!

A big thank you to ID Verde for clearing up the park this morning. Please take your picnic rubbish, bottles and cans home!

It's really disappointing to see the new park bins being pushed over now as well as being covered in graffiti. Why do a small minority think it's acceptable to damage facilities that are there for everyone? The vast majority of people want a clean, pleasant park, but it only takes a few individuals to spoil it for the whole community.

If you or a friend of yours has a new table please come and collect the packaging you have dumped in Collingwood Rec
