Youth volunteers in Port of Spain spent Saturday morning cleaning a small community park that residents use for exercise, football, family gatherings, and after-school activities. The group collected plastic bottles, food containers, broken branches, and other waste from the area before separating recyclable items from general garbage. Organizers said the effort was created to show that young people can lead practical community improvement without waiting for a large event or official ceremony. Several residents thanked the volunteers and said the park feels safer when it is clean and active. The team also encouraged nearby families to use bins, avoid dumping, and report damaged equipment before it becomes dangerous. The project was organized by a local youth club with support from parents and small business owners who donated gloves, bags, water, and refreshments. Volunteers said they plan to return next month and invite more residents to help paint benches, plant flowers, and create a simple schedule for keeping the park clean.
