Clearing the garden of the Battersea Park Monk
Discover something amazing in the middle of Battersea Park

Date and time
18:30 - 20:00Tonight we have a task for a very special cause. Some of you might know that there is a Buddhist monk who lives in Battersea Park. He helped build the famous Peace Pagoda in the 80s and cares for it everyday as well as leading ceremonies there. He lives not far away in a house and temple in the middle of the park. He is struggling to maintain the space there and has been the subject of some antisocial behaviour. We are going to help out in the garden with some clearing and shifting jobs. This is a great opportunity to discover a hidden gem in Battersea and to help out somewhere that means a lot for so many.
Please bring gloves if you have them. We have a back marker so nobody is let behind.We have loos and changing facilities at our start point but nowhere to leave bags. If you have any questions don't hesitate to let me know! All welcome.

Remember that we run to and from the task, so you'll only be running for half this distance in one go.
This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you can't run for more than 15mins without stopping or you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us or see if there's a starter session coming up in your area.

There's space to change and leave bags and toilets. We're not planning to do anything purposefully dangerous, but GoodGym takes no responsibility for your safety during group runs, you participate at your own risk. Participants accept full responsibility for items stored at Battersea Arts Centre, and Battersea Arts Centre and GoodGym will not be held liable for any losses or damages.
