Compared to the parks in Hillsborough, a lot of the trash was found in clusters. Most of the trash found at Inman Park was found on one side of the park. At least half of the trash we picked up was caught in an area of trees, and other plants. The other half came from all around the park. Not much trash was found near the tennis courts or the playground, although you would expect there to be trash near it since it would be used by the people who visit the park.
Where the Litter may be Coming From:
Parties at the pavilion
Picnics
Children on the playground
People using the basketball/tennis courts and baseball/softball fields
