Organisation

The Executive Committee of the Myatt's Fields Park Project Group are local residents and park users. Ten of us are elected each year by local residents at our AGM, usually held in Longfield Hall. The Committee also has space for two co-opted members and representatives from Lambeth Council. Local councillors are also invited to attend.

Membership

The Park Project Group has no formal membership. Anyone who is a local resident and park user and supports the aims of the Group is regarded as a member and can be involved. For this purpose we have a 'Park Users' list which is constantly being updated, so that we can keep as many people informed of news and events in the park as possible. This is done by mail and email and also through posters and newsletters which are placed in the park on a regular basis.
The Project to renovate Myatt's Fields Park first began in 2000, when a small group of local parents met and decided that something had to be done to stop the park's decline. Meetings were held and a vision for the park was developed over several years. A Constitution was adopted and in 2005, the Group became a registered charity (no. 1112220).

Aims

The aims of the Group are the renovation of historic buildings and landscape in Myatt's Fields Park and the renovation and improvement of play and sports amenities. We hope to develop new audiences from under-represented and socially-excluded groups, to offer a wide range of facilities and activities for everyone to enjoy; to enable people to appreciate the park's heritage and to meet the needs of existing park users.  Myatt’s Fields Park is one of Camberwell’s greatest treasures, to be loved and cared for.  Everyone is welcome to the park, to discover its history, wildlife, trees and plants, to exercise and play.   Welcome to Myatt’s Fields Park.
