We look forward to seeing you in Cranford Park all year round! There is a whole host of volunteering opportunities – see below – and no prior experience is required. They are all chances to meet people, boost your fitness level and help improve the park.
There is also a regular programme of guided walks, please revisit this page to check for the latest news. Please note that all these activities are free and run by Hillingdon Council. Prior booking is essential using the email address or phone number given beside each entry.
Note: The car park is fully open, along with the restored historic courtyard. Work is still underway in the newly built cafe building and Cranford House cellars. This is part of a National Lottery-funded enhancement project. The new children’s playground has been re-seeded and is now open. We’ll let you know just as soon as there’s any change to the visitor facilities available.
