Park cleanup turns into pickup after storm

Members of the City Improvement Association planned to spend Thursday morning at Bayou Bend Park sprucing up and planting flowers. Instead, much of their efforts went to picking up limbs scattered by Wednesday night’s storm.

The group said it would appreciate efforts by park users to keep the park clean, and especially reminded people to not throw the riprap rocks on the river bank into the river.

“That rock is expensive,” said Judy Hauser.
