The popular Oaks Tree Trail leaflet has been revised and reprinted, with some changes made to the original trail. The walk lasts about an hour.
The Friends will be running guided tree trails on the first Sunday of most months from April to October, starting at 2 p.m. on Sunday 6th April. There is no charge.
Guided walks can also be arranged for groups on request.
Leaflets may be found on the Friends' stand in the café.
The new leaflet has been produced with the generous support of the Downlands Trust.
Work will soon be underway cutting back and removing trees affected by ash die-back. This is to minimise the reduce the risk on the public highway and will affect principally the corner of the park between Croydon Lane and Woodmansterne Road.
Work will be starting from within the park.
Following on from the success of our Platinum Jubilee Copse, we have moved on to our new tree planting programme, starting with 5 elms and 10 flowering cherries. These were planted by their sponsors on 22nd February. It was a lovely morning and there were some very happy people as you can see in the photo above.
Come and help us keep our park neat and tidy. Bring some gloves, bags and pickers will be provided.
Next dates: 13th April, 17th May
Meet outside the café at 10.30 am, finished by 12.00 noon.

We are delighted to be one of several Sutton parks to be awarded a Green Flag for 2024-25.
The Green Flag Award® scheme recognises and rewards well managed parks and green spaces, setting the benchmark standard for the management of recreational outdoor spaces across the United Kingdom and around the world.
In December 2022, we planted the first 39 trees in the park.
With the Council's Tree Team, we planted the final 10 trees in the Copse on 9th March 2024.
All the trees are now sponsored, but you can still contribute to a community tree.
