We are a Friends group that seeks to look after the best interests of Finsbury Park.

The Friends of Finsbury Park is a charity that was formed in 1986 by people who care deeply about Finsbury Park – its past, present and future. We are a small but growing group of residents and volunteers who live or work in the local area.

The park, administered by Haringey Council, has seen much improvement over the past 3 decades. New facilities have been built to make it a valuable place for residents of three boroughs that border it. It is one of the largest parks in North London, covered with a wide variety of trees, and providing sanctuary to all sorts of wild life.

The Friends group has sought to ensure this improvement continues, maintaining investment, and push back against steps to over-commercialise the space. In recent years, pressure on council budgets has incentivised revenue generating major events. These have denied access to large amounts of the park for long period in the summer months - often damaging the space.

We’re not a single issue group and are determined that our focus is on how we can support the community use of the space. As 2020 highlighted, big public open spaces are critical for well being.

We will focus on ensuring the park has sufficient funding, highlighting priorities for investment that improve how it feels, and engaging the police & council to keep the park safe & clean.

We very much seek to represent the park users. If you have ideas, improvements, or concerns - please get in touch. Better yet - join us - and help us continue to improve Finsbury Park.
