The Friends of Barnard Park is a community organisation which seeks to involve local people in helping to make Barnard Park a better place.
A short walk from the Angel or King?s Cross, Barnard Park is large city park which provides green space and amenities for a diverse community. Cricket was invented nearby in the early eighteenth century, at White Conduit Fields (just south of the modern intersection of Barnsbury Road and Dewey Road). The area was developed into terraces of brick houses in the nineteenth century, and then bombed in the 1940s. Re-developed as a park in the 1960s, Barnard Park now contains a football pitch, playgrounds for children of various ages and a pleasant green space with views reaching over King?s Cross to the West End.
