Clean. Green. Pristine.
The Beach Toy Borrow Boxes were brought to the island as a pilot project with the aim of mitigating the number of beach toys that end up as litter. Beach toys are a type of trash we see in abundance through our Coastal Zone Management daily beach cleaning efforts.
We noticed families were leaving their beach toys on the sand with the kind intention of thinking that other families would use them. However, this rarely happens; instead, they end up as trash. The beach toy borrow boxes create a location where families can play with the toys for free, and then return them to the box or take them home.
Locations: Pocket Park 2 and on the 61st Street access point.
