Rediscovering a forgotten woodland playground

Welcome to GoodGym Coventry! We're a friendly and social group who combine exercise with helping out in the local community. We meet every week to get active and do a physical task to help the charities and community organisations and projects in our area.

The Task:

One of our members discovered an unkept woodland children play area in Canley. It doesn't look as if anyone is looking after it and has become overgrown with weeds. Can GoodGym come to the rescue and bring it back to its former glory for local children to enjoy?

Can you please bring any gardening tools you have i.e. shears, secautuers, garden forks and some gloves. It might be best to wear long sleeves and trousers just incase of nettles and brambles (hopefully it will be nice and shaded in the woodland so not too hot)

Getting there:

As it is a little bit too far to walk or run from the City Centre, please make your own way there. We encourage you to run, walk or cycle if this is possible. Where to meet:

At the gates of Charter Academy School. If you are driving, you, can park outside Charter Academy on Mitchell Avenue and we will all walk together from there. If you sign up and can no longer make it or you are going to be late then please let me know.

If you have any questions please pop them in the comments section below or email me at lauradenham@goodgym.org
