Friends of the Hilltop: Cleanups

Cleanups

Friends of the Hilltop performs cleanups in parks and other public spaces around the Hilltop. Past cleanups have been held at Dry Run Creek, Glenwood Park, and several areas along West Broad Street, including the Hilltop Neighborhood Park and the intersection of West Broad Street and Hague Avenue.

Lechner Avenue Chicanes

In addition through Keep Columbus Beautiful, Friends of the Hilltop has adopted the chicanes (a type of traffic calming element) on Lechner Avenue (south of West Broad Street). View Map Since the City of Columbus placed the chicanes, Friends of the Hilltop has cleaned and maintained these traffic calmers. We have added topsoil, shrubs, annuals and groundcover perenials. Many volunteer hours have been spent weeding and cleaning the gutters around the chicanes.

If you would like to donate topsoil or perenials, please contact Friends. The east side of the chicanes receives lots of sun, the west side very little, so we need both shade-loving and sun-loving perenials. Yuccas, day lillies and other similar plants seem to do well.
