Friends of parks

The community groups that work in our parks make a huge difference to the quality of the spaces. They lead on all sorts of activities that make the park a better place. Some run events, some do a lot of gardening, improvements and planting, some run activities and many are involved in the future planning for the park.

If you want to get involved, contact your local group to find out more, and if you don't see one for your local park and would be interested in setting one up, contact environment@kingston.gov.uk and we'll put you in touch with people who can help. You can also find further information on community development programmes in parks on the Glendale website.
