Who Are We?
Archbishops Park is one of the green gems of North Lambeth, a place for parents to play with their kids in the new playground, have a game of cricket or football with friends or just admire the beautiful flowers. Originally part of the Lambeth Palace gardens, it was created as a public park in the early 1900s. FOAP supports the needs of park users by ensuring that ideas are reflected in the development of this historic space. With a dedicated committee of 10 local residents, we meet to discuss a variety of issues affecting the Park from local planning to improving sports facilities to creating new gardens and providing seating.
Our Successes
FOAP is run by a committee of local volunteers whose aim is to ensure Archbishops Park remains well maintained and provides the best facilities possible for its users. To date we have funded:
a new children’s playground, one of the best in the Borough!
an educational garden so children can learn about nature; workshops supporting children from Johanna Primary and Evelina’s 
Hospital to make mosaic artwork for the playground and shelter; lots of new seats; free sporting events; a new Spring Garden by Putting Down Roots (part of St Mungo’s); a make over for St Mary’s Gardens near Lambeth Palace, involving the Museum of Garden History, South Bank Mosaics, Putting Down Roots and lots of volunteers.COME AND JOIN US !
