Not to mention keeping the park free of litter! The group has also run two community pond digging days and have put up many bird and bat boxes decorated by locals. Residents have been supported to buy four benches and the latest addition is a big picnic table for eight people! New football goal posts are coming soon, and we would love to continue making improvements to this wonderful space.To find out more about our group, how to get involved in our community days, or how to join our friendly team email friendsofuppernorwoodrec@gmail.com .
