Park friends groups
We encourage and support voluntary park friends groups that are keen to be involved in the maintenance and development of their local park.
All groups play an important role in managing and developing the parks, including getting funding to improve park facilities. Most groups start with like-minded people who want to get more involved in improving their local environment.

Current parks community groups
We are currently working with these groups. Some of the groups are properly constituted and have a committee whilst others are less formal and may be only two or three residents that meet on an informal basis.
