As of 5 March 2026 the Manor Park pocket park has been adopted by Friends of Manor Park.

Friends of Manor Park is a community initiative, established under the guardianship of EEVRA, that aims to care for, improve, invest in and encourage the use of the park – for all. The mission of the Friends of Manor Park is to protect and nurture this small oasis in the heart of East End Village, as an open space for all to benefit the physical and mental wellbeing of a growing & thriving community.

In October 2025 EEVRA N2 submitted a proposal to Barnet Council and our local MP that included improvements, projects, ideas and suggestions from 193 local residents that demonstrated the park’s potential and the bright future for this much loved space.

The Friend’s of Manor Park is in a strategic partnership with Barnet Green Space and Trees Network, a body of resident volunteer organisations across the borough, to promote our and other aligned initiatives. We meet with Barnet Council’s Parks Team to improve, promote and support all parks and green spaces across the borough.
