Friends of Green Lane Recreation Ground
The newly-formed Friends of Green Lane launched with a hugely successful first event, drawing an incredible turnout of 22 volunteers who came together to make a real difference in the park.

Following promotion by Glendale’s Community Development Manager, Andy Hallett, and a local councillor, the team was ready for action. Although the London to Brighton Ultra Challenge meant a last-minute change of plans, the group quickly pivoted to a new task.
Volunteers focused their efforts on clearing an overgrown pathway that had become a hotspot for anti-social behaviour. By cutting back the vegetation, the team instantly made the area safer and more welcoming for all park users.

The event was a brilliant example of community collaboration, bringing together local residents, councillors, and police officers all working side-by-side.
Glendale supported the day by organising the session, supplying all the tools and equipment, and removing two full van loads of green waste.
This fantastic start has created great momentum, and the Friends of Green Lane are excited to grow the group and continue enhancing this valuable green space for the community,
A Triple Green Flag Triumph
A Triple Green Flag Triumph
Glendale is delighted to announce that our work in partnership with the Royal Borough of Kingston has resulted in three prestigious Green Flag Awards for parks we maintain: Alexandra Recreation Ground, Canbury Gardens, and Fishponds Park.
The Green Flag Award is the international benchmark for excellence in parks management, and achieving it across these three key sites is a testament to the skill, dedication, and high standards of our local Glendale teams.
This success is built on a strong, collaborative partnership. Our teams work in close cooperation with the Royal Borough of Kingston's Greenspaces team and passionate local "Friends" groups. During the judging process, our staff were on hand to escort the judges, showcasing the quality of our horticultural work and the excellent condition of the grounds.
We are immensely proud that our expertise in green space management has contributed to this outstanding result. We congratulate our client, the Royal Borough of Kingston, and all the community volunteers on this shared success. Glendale looks forward to continuing our partnership to keep these vital community assets in award-winning condition.
