Friends Of Ferndene Park, Ryton

We help maintain the landscape elements of Ferndene Park in Ryton and you can be part of this lovely group of volunteers too. From cutting and edging the grass to planting and maintaining flower beds & rockeries, and generally ensuring the park is kept in good order for everyone in the town of Ryton.

Always plenty to do, we welcome people of all ages and abilities to come and get involved in this wonderful green space. Wednesday mornings (weather permitting!) play host to garden gather and natter sessions, open to all along with occasional family volunteer days - most often on Saturdays.

For more up to date information on events and happenings, you can find us on Facebook and Instagram as well as in the park notice boards.

The Friends also appreciate the assistance of external groups who support their work. The Co-op staff, Prince’s Trust and Community Payback Team have all made valuable contributions, painting benches, fences and the bowling pavilion and helping with heavy garden tasks.
