FoLaR is a local volunteer community group, established to make the Latchmere Recreation Ground a place where there is something for everyone. We aim to increase biodiversity and improve opportunities for play, sport and relaxation, creating a space where the wonderful North Kingston community spirit can flourish.

The Pond extension works have been completed!

​

The FoLaR pond group will continue looking after the garden around the pond:
🌱 boundary hedge
🌿 dead-hedge
🐦 bird feeder
🚶 path
🌸 planting projects

This autumn we’ll be back with another hedge-laying session (to the right of the gate) and pruning the rest of the hedge to keep it tidy and healthy.

 

Pétanque was recently installed on the Rec!

​

​At last our Petanque pitch is in full swing and we were pleased to see different generations playing together, We have  placed a poster with the rules on the fence.
No equipment? No problem! Boules can be borrowed from Tandems cafe. ☕🥐
Come along, give it a try, and enjoy a game with friends or family in the fresh air!

The toilet is now fully installed, but sadly, according to the notice, it cannot yet be used during September 2025 due to  technical issues.
