Friends of Parks
Many of the parks or greenspaces in Coventry have a 'Friends of Group', which is an interested team of people who volunteer together to improve their local area.
A Friends of Group can be involved in:
- Fundraising
- Events
- Inputting into how the greenspaces are managed
- Litter picking
- Practical tasks such as tree planting, vegetation management
Want to get involved with your local park? See the list of existing groups below. If your local greenspace is not listed and you would like to get involved then please contact urbanrangers@coventry.gov.uk
