Welcome to Friends of Upminster Park

The Friends of Upminster Park have now been given Official Friends Status by L.B.H  We meet on the last Wednesday of each month at 7.30pm Trinity Church, Gaynes road entrance. Our objective is to ensure, in liaison with Havering Council, that the park is maintained and improved to a high standard to the benefit of all residents. You may have noticed improvements that have already been made in the park with the help of the friends group, including: refurbishment of the tennis courts and children's play area, path lighting and the planting of lavender and other flower and shrub beds, ball court and outdoor gym. All  these improvements have made the park a safer more enjoyable place to be. We would welcome participation by any local residents who use the park, whether to relax in, to play tennis or football, or any other leisure pastime, even if just passing by the park when shopping. So, do you have any opinions about the park, how it should look, etc.? What do you want from the park? It is YOUR park and we would value your opinions and ideas. So why not come along and join us? It is free to join there  are no fees 
 
Upminster Park has many different species of trees, flower beds, a wild flower area, planters and hanging baskets. Bats can be seen at dusk along the hedgerow by the large Oaks at the rear of the park.  There is a Cricket pitch and Pavilion, three Tennis courts, a Ball court, two marked out Football pitches, a Play park for children up to the age of twelve, an Outdoor gym for over twelve year olds and adults and two outdoor table tennis tables. We also have a Tea hut and a small car park which can be entered from St. Mary’s Lane. Adjacent to the Park we have Public Toilets and a Library.
