Friends of Okebourne Park: Protecting Our Local Treasures

Some of you may take for granted the beautiful local parks and woodland resources that exist in our community. We are a group of concerned residents who are dedicated to promoting and enhancing access to these areas so all residents can benefit. There are many opportunities for young persons, families and groups to use these parks.

The Council is currently asking our community for feedback about their proposal to sell-off significant parts of these parks. For example, this hilltop, with a clear view to Avonmouth and Wales, is on the chopping block.

We want to help the residents of our community get actively involved with decisions that affect our local environment.

We are seeking individuals like ourselves who want to participate, promote, and sponsor activities which benefit the local parks and community.

Please join the discussion - your voice is very important right now.
