Friends groups provide a strong focus for Sutton Parks. The groups' enthusiasm and commitment can lend weight to both small and large projects and issues, as well as often providing an eyes and ears service.
Friends Groups can help a park by:
Bidding for external funds
Taking part in improvement activities and running park projects and events
Keeping a notice board up to date
Reporting damage/incidents in the park to either the police or parks officers
Bringing a park visitor's perspective to discussions on standards and how maintenance work is carried out
The Network of Friends has not met for several years
