As we come to the end of this extraordinary year we would like to wish all of our supporters and volunteers happiness and health at Christmas and a hopeful new year.
Throughout the year we have faced challenges like everyone else. During the first lockdown a skeleton crew of volunteers kept an eye on the park doing essential maintenance where necessary. When we were allowed to begin our Wednesday sessions once again it was heart warming to welcome back our loyal gang of volunteers. We stayed safe and took advantage of the fine summer weather to create new features such as the new gravel garden sign, leaf mulch area and continue looking after the park's many flowers, shrubs and trees. We were also awarded our 6th Green Flag.

Our abiding memory of this year in the park is the connection we made with so many people (some, finding the park for the first time) who came to sit, play, walk their dog or just enjoy this beautiful greenspace in the heart of Penge. We were especially excited to meet so many of you at our impromptu pop-up plant sale. Thank you for all your kind comments.
Those using the park at the moment will possibly notice that we are renovating the mound which has suffered from it's popularity, becoming quite bald! We are stabilising it with tyres which will make fun steps to climb up it. We look forward to completing this and other projects in the new year. We also hope that the new year brings better news for everyone. We also hope to hold a celebration of our 10th year as Penge Green Gym. You will all be welcome!
