ORONOCO BAY PARK
Oronoco Bay Park is located along the Potomac River in downtown Alexandria. The park is not as close to the Alexandria Marina as Founders Park is, but it still gets many visitors each day. The park is a lot closer to residential areas and many people enjoy this park as a place for exercise and play. We chose this location to clean up because it receives an influx of trash from the river. The park is normally very beautiful, but once you see the trash that lines its shore it loses some of its beauty. Some of the trash we picked up consisted of tennis balls, multiple two-liter soda bottles, glass bottles, and many other things.
