About the Friends
The Friends of Battersea Park is a registered charity formed in 1988 to help maintain and improve the Park as an oasis of tranquillity, natural beauty and recreation.
Our aims are to provide a responsible group of people whom Wandsworth Council can consult as representatives of Park users; to preserve the natural and historic layout of the Park, and monitor any proposed changes; to organise walks and lectures and raise funds in order to make other positive contributions to the Parks amenities.
We publish a quarterly magazine which provides a forum for members ideas and opinions.
Our influence is dependent upon as large a membership as possible; your support is vital and greatly appreciated.
Membership is very reasonable at £10 per year for individuals.
