• Sensory Garden: Regular Saturday morning sessions involve gentle gardening to maintain and enhance this tranquil space.
• Tree Nursery: Volunteers help prepare the ground and plant saplings for a new tree nursery within the park.

Conservation and Wildlife:

• Conservation Tasks: Working alongside Park Rangers on various tasks around the park, such as wildlife habitat care, fencing maintenance, pathway clearing, and lake work.
• Litter Picking: Regular monthly sessions to help keep the park clean and safe for visitors and wildlife.
