The Friends of Canons Park are a local voluntary group, formed in May 2003 to support Harrow Council’s bid for Heritage Lottery funding to restore Canons Park to its former glory. The bid was successful and by 2007 the work was completed, creating better pathways, repairing park buildings of historic interest, planting and maintaining trees and shrubs and restoring the beautiful George V walled Memorial Garden at the heart of the park. As a result, Canons Park now feels much safer and there is so much more for visitors to do and see! The Friends meet regularly and continue to work closely with the Council to maintain and improve facilities in the park, and to make its heritage and natural resources accessible to a wide range of residents and visitors.
