Enjoy Your Park

Welcome to Friends Of Kings Park, Glasgow UK

Friends of Kings Park logo

Welcome to the website of The Friends of the Kings Park (FOKP). The Friends of Kings Park was established in 2006 by a group of residents who were interested in developing the park as a valuable community resource.

We are a dedicated group of local volunteers who work closely with the Parks Department, local residents and schools to help implement and organise better facilities and events for residents to enjoy in Kings Park.

To find out more about us or to join our group, please visit our 'About Us' page for further information on how to be involved and help make Kings Park a better community resource.

FOKP requires volunteers

FOKP requires volunteers

Friends of Kings Park requires volunteers to assist with the ongoing maintenance work on phase 2 of the Sensory Garden project, which is scheduled for completion in summer of 2012.

General duties will include planting, weeding and working with the group on other maintenance issues of the Sensory Garden.

Due to the average age of our members and also the lack of additional support from public bodies, we cannot continue without the help of the general public like yourselves to move the project forwards to a satisfactory completion.

If you live locally and have a keen interest in gardening we are keen to speak to you. Please email us at info@friendsofthekingspark-glasgow.co.uk for more information.
