Please come along ...

We do have a park keeper, thanks to the contract Lewisham renegotiated with Glendale a year or so back, and we also have a respected group of dog walkers who in turn respect the interests of other park users.

Is there a charity/fundraising group for Mayow Park? Does anyone manage a programme of events that are held there? I'd be interested in getting involved.

That is a lovely idea :D

Some events are planned, by the Friends of Mayow Park and others. See the PM I have just sent you for how you can ...

First off, this is an invitation to sign a national petition to save our parks.

Just overheard ... "I'll come back when it's less busy!"

Opening in just 39 minutes!

We're pretty exicited too.

We've got 600 of these leaflets A5 size about the official opening and Community picnic with the cricketers Sunday 31st printed. Not enough, I know, so I'm thinking about how to get maximum impact from them. I'm thinking of handing them to people in person in the park ...
