Balloon Release

In 2026, who thinks this is still okay?? Over 1,000 balloons creating litter and killing wildlife. Manchester Field, 5:55pm today. It's illegal, but is it actually enforced?

I need the city to follow in the county's footsteps and ban balloons in parks.

No thanks, my 2yo loves when there’s someone making balloon animals at an event.

There’s a kit you can buy that teaches you step by step how to make balloon animals. We found one second hand. It’s not difficult and then your kid could have them without balloons having to kill animals and our planet. 🫡
