Who this task will support
Friends of Elm Road Rec (FERR)
Friends group of a local park are working together to improve the park for all local residents and users of the park.

We have been asked to go back to Elm Road to help sort out the playground. Our hardy GoodGym team that visited a couple of weeks ago did a fantastic job of removing the weeds stuck under the playground tarmac.

There will be some litterpicking as well. Please bring gardening gloves and long-sleeves to protect yourself from any nettles or brambles. All tools will be provided. Don’t forget your head torch - the nights are drawing in now.

We will be meeting at the Quaker Centre for 6.30pm and will run 2.5km to 1 Elm Rd, KT2 6HR. We will get there for approximately 7pm if you need to meet us there. We will be doing a 2.5km run back after the task ends. We also have a walking group so please join in if you have an injury or don't want to run this evening. It's a great starter group!
