Volunteers and Community Groups
For park users who want to become more involved in the way the park is managed, local residents run the Friends of Court Recreation Ground Group. The group has assisted in many aspects of the park management including the development of a memorial garden for the late Bill Tankai of the DoJo that burnt down in 2003. If you would like to find out more about the group, please contact the Ranger Service on 01372 732000.
