It only feels like a few weeks  have passed since we were contacted by the newly formed Friends of Montgomery Street Park, who were keen to survey their local park users to gauge how their local park could be improved. One of our aims is to encourage and support the development of 'Friends' groups so we're delighted to hear from the latest new group to set up - The Friends of Lochend Park.

They're looking for volunteers to help them get going. If you live nearby and you want to get involved in making Lochend Park the jewel in the crown of Edinburgh's green spaces - then you can find out more by emailing lochendpark@yahoo.com
