Friends of Kelly Avenue Park

Developing the environment of the park to expand its facilities and attractiveness for the Peckham community
We work in partnership with Southwark Council in the maintenance and positive development of the park. Our focus this year is in establishing the garden area as an interactive space for growing food and other plants, and hosting educational workshops with local schoolchildren.

18 GoodGymers have supported Friends of Kelly Avenue Park with 5 tasks.

Huge Milestones!

Wednesday 16th September

Written by Emma McNally

We met at old spike before heading out on our group run. It was lovely to see Laura and Roland back! Half of us headed to Kelly Park Avenue and the other half went to Traid. At Kelly Park we litter picked and watered the plants. Over at Traid the other half of the group packed away the clothes for the end of season sale. After our sessions we headed to the Old Nags Head to celebrate Nathan’s 300th and Isaac’s 200th GG run. Both huge mile stones!!

When in drought... Water!

Wednesday 19th August

Written by Isaac Beevor (He/him)

Goodgym Southwark headed over to Kelly Avenue Park. When we arrived we filling the trenches that had been dug the previous month, with the mulch and soil, which that had been delivered by the council, to form the hugelkulture.

As we moved the mulch and soil quicker than expected, using a repurposed bin and the might of Goodgymers carrying the big bags, we then proceeded to water the planted hedgerow, weed around the smaller trees and litter pick across the park.

It’s Running Home

Wednesday 15th July

Written by Emma McNally

A small group of us set off from Old Spike to Kelly Avenue Park to help Tracey. We were welcomed by some refreshments which we were all grateful for on such a hot day! Paulin and I spent the session litter picking and James, Andrada and Steve helped with weeding around the newly planted trees. We started and ended the session early so we could make it in time to watch England match!

Kelly Avenue Park Spruce-up 🌳

Wednesday 10th June

Written by Nathan Wood

On Wednesday a group of goodgymmers headed up to Kelly Avenue Park, where we met up with our task owner. This is the second time we've headed over to help. Like the first time, we were once again met with some showers during our task 🌧

Nevertheless, we managed to do quite a bit. We weeded planters, cleared around trees, and cut back some weeds around a bench. And the watering... Well, the weather took care of that.

Wednesday 13th May

Written by Lindy Macfarlane

5 good gymmers ran to Kelly Avenue Park to help Tracey prep the area for a big delivery of mulch. Digging 2 pits was quite the work out but Tracey kept us energised by generously handing out biscuits! We'll be back in June for part 2!
