A third task in 5 days at Blondin Park saw Steph, Mohamed and Sevan run from Ealing Broadway, followed by Jules, who joined us for her first task with GoodGym Ealing. Welcome Jules! 👏🎉 We look forward to seeing you at another task soon.

The team were supposed to be mulching the snips that were planted by volunteers over the weekend, including some of our own GoodGym members. While the threatened storm this evening had held off, the group were thwarted from their intended task by darkness. Task owner Linda thought it was too risky for the GoodGymers to hulk wheelbarrows between the fragile snips in the dark, so a substitute task was ready. They would be mulching trees at the entrance of the park to turn them into an attractive feature for park goers.

Blondin Park's ever present wood chip pile was waiting for the team. Wheelbarrows, shovels and a rake were at the ready and the barrows began whizzing between the wood chip pile and trees, with Steph and Mohamed creating a neat ring of mulch around each trunk. The mulching was finished in super quick time, so everyone moved on to wood chipping a nearby bed to round out the task.

After the big impact that they made in the park, as always, Linda offered everyone a warm space and a cup of hot chocolate along with updates on her big plans for the park. What a tasty way to prepare for the run home ☕.


This task supported

The Blondin Consortium formed in 2018 and started raising funds to build the Blondin Park Community Pavilion. With the help of so many people we have been able to see our dream come to fruition and were able to open for business in September 2021. Run by volunteers this is an exciting community success story with all profits reinvested back into Blondin Park.
