Millfields User Group is a group of local people who love the park and want to see it maintained and developed for local residents. This includes improving biodiversity in the park for the benefit of our birds, insects and other wildlife. We liaise with the Council on things like litter and graffiti, cycling routes, maintenance problems, tree planting, and events in the park. We also have an input into park projects and management plans.
Please join us if you would like to have a say about how your park is run. We meet about every two months, currently on Zoom. Meetings are usually held in the evening at 19.30. You can join us for one meeting, or every meeting.
If you don’t want to come to meetings you can sign up to our newsletter to find out what we’re doing and how you can join in. We are currently looking at creating a roller skating space, mulching newly planted trees, improving biodiversity in the park, organising the Tree Circle Cinema, more children’s activities, walks and talks, and planning more community tree planting in early winter.
The Chair, Secretary and Treasurer are elected every year at the AGM (the last one was in November 2025).
Chair – Christine Kings
Treasurer – Bettina Maidment
Secretary – Clare Taylor
Hi there, My name is Dylan and I was hoping to plant a tree for my mothers birthday – it will have also been a year since she passed away in December. So I’m hoping to celebrate her life by planting a tree in lower Clapton right by Hackney/Walthamstow Marshes, with a load of people helping out.
I was hoping you could let me know if it was possible to set something like this up for around December and if not – is there anyone you would be willing to put me in contact with who does the same work and could?
All the best and kindest regards,
Dylan.
