What the charity does

A group of enthusiastic volunteers who love the wonderful green open spaces of Bowling Park situated in Bradford, West Yorkshire. We want to see the park improved, its heritage protected and its place valued in the local community. We put on community events, run weekly activities, help maintain the park and raise funds for use in the park.
