About us
We are a friendly group of volunteers focused on making improvements to the park. We work in partnership with Croydon Council and other park groups including The Conservation Volunteers (TCV) and Grow Wild CIC. We are an unincorporated community group, set up in 2020.
Our volunteer work days are on the first Sunday of each month, from 10 - 12. We carry out a wide range of activities. Since 2020, we have planted a community orchard, new hedges and wildflower meadows. Volunteers care for lakeside flower beds and carry out conservation work in the woodland. We provide all tools/ litter pickers and everyone is welcome (under 16s accompanied). We finish each session with tea and biscuits.
For wider community engagement, we organise an annual park open day in May in partnership with other park user groups. This includes a plant sale and children’s activities, which help us to raise funds for volunteer work.
