There are friends groups for Fishers Field Nature Reserve, King George Recreation Ground and The Rose Garden. We also work with Warren Estate Residents’ Association.

The Friends are supporting the development of this important heritage site. Regular events are held in the garden from jazz to story-telling and the Friends help fund these events which are enjoyed by many visitors. To find out more about the Friends group visit their website.

Four Parks Friends Association

This Friends group is actively involved in improving the four central parks of Borehamwood – Aberford, Clarendon, Maxwell Hillside and Meadow Parks.   Judith Sear, the former Chairperson of the Association, said: "The Parks in Borehamwood are a source of pleasure and relaxation for the whole community, from young to old. The Four Parks Association want to make sure that there is something for everyone to enjoy in our parks."
