Do you have an inner motor that never really switches off? Or a relentless voice that demands you do more, think more - just more, more more !? Ugh! Us too. Thankfully, here at ParkBathe we have a way to quieten it down. (Well… for an hour at least.) 🌿 Join us for the launch of ParkBathe at Betts Park !! 🌿 Inspired by forest bathing, these free (yes!) guided wellbeing walks use simple sensory invitations to help you slow down, step out of your head and reconnect with the world around you. 🌿No pressure to talk. 🌿No fitness level needed. 🌿Just time to breathe, notice and chillax.... Join us in gorgeous Betts Park, Anerley Rd, SE20 8TQ Sunday 14th June at 1pm Places are limited so booking is essential: https://linktr.ee/ParkBathe or via bio. Come and explore this beautiful green space in a wildly different way🌿 #ParkBathe #ForestBathing #BettsPark #MindfulWalking #NatureConnection #MentalWellbeing #SE20 #Anerley #GreenSocialPrescribing #SlowDown

We have made a flying start with our park projects. We have started work on improving the biodiversity of the canal and have been busy creating a community garden from scratch, where people can learn and share skills.

We have already secured £35k through funding to replace the existing Outdoor Gym equipment and expand it to include callisthenics, but we still need to raise another £35k!

If you would like to donate to the Friends of Betts Park so we can continue to improve Betts Park please scan the QR code.

Thanks!

The Friends of Betts Park desperately need rubble bags and flower pots. 🪴

If anyone has some to spare and would like to donate them to us, we would greatly appreciate it.

If you could drop them off outside the Betts Park Secret Garden gate, that would be fantastic! 🙂
