A team of two garden-gloved GoodGym-ers pitched up today at the Crouch End Open Space to help CREOS, the neighbourhood volunteer group that looks after the area, on their monthly workday.

As always there were many jobs that demanded our attention. Rather impressively Glenys from CREOS had committed these all to memory. After prioritising the most urgent tasks it fell to us to cut back two large tree sections that were partially obstructing pathway entrances.

So we got to it, armed with secateurs and a saw, and watched on by an endless procession of Good Dogs that were out enjoying the mild weather. Soon we had successfully cleared the pathways, thus making it a lot easier for park users to navigate the space while maintaining social distancing.
