Friends of Parks
Friends of Parks
Friends of Parks' groups help create better open spaces across the borough. In partnership with the Council’s Parks Service, they support their local community to have a greater say in what goes on in their parks.
This may take place in the form of promoting the park, helping with conservation tasks, organising local community events, fundraising and much more. The Friends groups also help to care for the park and are involved in improving aspects such as the appearance, facilities offered and safety.
New members are always welcome so please apply if you want to get involved!
