Over the coming weeks we will be bringing some ideas together with partners in the hope to inspire and encourage.
Locally to most parks there is a hive of positivity, often by passing us. We want to help find easy ways to look after yourself, taking a break from the hustle and bustle of life in a relaxing non continuous spaces. Most Parks in Harrow have great kind friends park groups and local activities, it's just a matter of finding out how to connect with them.

Can you help extending our online smartpark project
Oh, splendid human of impeccable taste, care to lend a hand in expanding our online smartpark project? Because, you know, revolutionising local community activities is more than just a walk in the park... literally.
Picture this: our project aims to make the secrets of local community happenings as transparent as a spy's schedule. And, of course, we're all about changing the flow of information. Because who needs mysterious vibes when you can have clarity, right?
Now, hold onto your teacup because here's the royal roadmap:
Stage one: We conducted the most thrilling survey of 2021, and we’ve just launched an encore in 2024.
We've tapped into the collective wisdom of the masses to understand what they desire in their parks and communities. Spoiler alert: it involves more than just dodging rogue pigeons.
Stage two: Enter the smartpark project, our pièce de resistance! We're weaving services, activities, and community intel around parks like a wizard conjuring spells (minus the pointy hat, sadly).
And speaking of our beloved Harrow, it's a hub of nice folks doing delightful deeds, well, almost everyone. We affectionately call some the Rosters, the aficionados of getting under someone's skin and renting space in their heads. Bless their hearts.
So, dear reader, could you volunteer to help this project?
Become an aficionado of community wellbeing, from anywhere in the country we are working towards making sure your grandchildren are not arguing over the same things we are all experiencing.
Join us in this quest to unveil the mysteries of community life. Together, we'll make parks an even more splendid haven of niceties, dodgy pigeons, and the occasional Roster, induced eye roll.
