9 Goodgymers turned up on this Saturday morning at Springfield Park to help finish painting a shelter. Some of us met for our group run outside Brunswick Bakehouse and did a nice 3k scenic run through Hackney Downs Park, Millfields Park and then along the Lea Valley. Welcome Charlotte for her first GoodGym Session!

After we got suited up in our boiler suits looking like Ghostbusters, we then painted the Shelter, after no time it was looking as good as new! Great job everyone! We will we back to help Springfield Park create habitat environments.

Come along to our next group run on Thursday to help move some couches for the older and disabled patients at St Leonard's Hospital. Or next Saturday we are back to help out at The Robin Hood Community Garden.

Springfield Park

Help to restore the historic Shelter for the community and improve habitat for biodiversity

Springfield Park is located between Stamford Hill and the River Lee, with views over the Lea Valley. The Park provides lots of opportunities for the local community to access recreational and sporting activities, and connect with nature. In 2017 a restoration project kicked off to restore the park to its former glory. But there is still more to do to enhance the park for the local community and create more habitat for biodiversity. We would love your help!
