Dayton Police Officer Madeline Beall put together the cleanup at DeWeese Park near Neva Drive, according to a Dayton Police spokesperson.
“Well, I’ve lived in Dayton my entire life and there were illegal activities in the park,” said Beall. “And with the help of other Dayton Police officers, citizens of Dayton, Public Works, and Montgomery County, we were able to improve the status of the park.”
The cleanup will take place Saturday morning starting at 11 a.m. and will go until 2 p.m.
The park says they will meet at the parking lot on DeWeese Parkway at the Siebenthaler Bridge and everyone is invited to participate.
Trash bags, gloves, and trash grabbers will be provided, the park said on social media.
