Friends of Friary Park

Group

From their website: "The Friends of Friary Park was formed in 1990 as the result of local discontent with the deteriorating condition of the Park. More than 200 people attended the inaugural meeting from which an informal committee was chosen. The intention was to put pressure on Barnet Council to maintain the Park to a high standard and to make sure that it was kept as a well looked-after facility for all to enjoy."
