Barnet greenspaces volunteering

Volunteering in your local park is a great way to meet likeminded people, keep fit, and make a meaningful contribution to your local community.

Volunteering in parks varies between groups, many help by reporting any problems in parks to council officers, some carry out wildlife conservation tasks, and others organising litter picks to keep their local park clean.

With over 200 open spaces, it’s the local people who make the real difference in taking their parks to the next level.
