Meeting place: Scarborough Park Playground, along Barton St, Kogarah NSW 2217. We will be set up at the model boat pontoon.
This family-friendly Clean Up Australia Day event will remove the litter to make it nicer for everyone to enjoy and safer for fish and other animals that call it home.
Don't have a paddle craft? Hire one on the day for a small fee or join the walkers cleaning up the banks.
To pre-register and book a craft, simply choose the ticket that refers to what you need, and we will see you on the day. Bookings essential.
Gloves, pick up sticks and bags will be provided on the day. Make sure you bring sun protection, water and sturdy shoes that you don't mind getting wet.
Parking is available on both sides of Barton Street as well as Scarborough Lane.
