The city of Nanyang, Henan province reports that it is working on its parks and recreational space for locals and its urban management bureau is asking for donations from the public for the facilities in these parks, Nanyang Daily informs us, on May 4.

The bureau says they are accepting group or individual donations for anything at all, from a park seat or a garbage bin, to a road sign or street light, to a few plants, or anything else for the park, with the donor's name to be noted on the particular item, of course.

Work on the Rose Park and aquatic center will be completed soon and the bureau hopes that more citizens will find it in their hearts to contribute to the public spaces that are always some the busiest places in the city so, if a company were to have its name on the facility it could be a quite effective form of advertising.

Anyone interested in donating can phone the two parks - 13949394937 for the Nanyang Rose Park donation hotline and Chen Zhongyu, and 15290346632 for the Nanyang Aquatic Center and Wang Zhe. The lines will be open now to May 18.
