5 11:00 am: Litterpick 11:00 am – 1:00 pm May 5, 2026 Come and join the merry band, keeping litter at bay and looking after the park! Meet at the Lakeside Centre, where you'lll find binbags and litterpickers. The weather forecast is looking like good outdoors and rain proof clothing, at the moment! Please check the weather and dress accordingly, make sure to wear appropriate footwear. Wear gardening gloves, if you have them - as the council can only provide latex gloves. Don't pick up any sharp objects - glass, needles, knives or weapons. Photograph them and report it, instead. Remember, we work in pairs for social and safety reasons. Litterpicks are every First Tuesday of the month. Lakeside Centre - Platt Fields Park Platt Fields Park Wilmslow Road Manchester, Greater Manchester M14 6LA View Location Map Read more
