Welcome to The Friends of Kennington Park
About the Friends
The Friends of Kennington Park is a voluntary organisation set up 20 years ago to improve the park. We became a registered charity in 2020. The park is run by Lambeth Council. The Friends work with Lambeth to help keep the park in good shape and bring improvements and new facilities for the ever-increasing number of visitors.
Current planning & work in progress includes the restoration of the iconic skatebowl, updating the children's playground, modernising the toilet facilities and improving the drains and pathways.
It's our 20th birthday this year! And we'd love to make more friends!
