Women in parks too

In 2023 we held two activities called Women in parks too, that explored how women in Cranford use parks and open spaces, and and explored the barriers to using them. The report for this work is here: Women in parks too : Exploring the barriers women face to engaging in the park. August 2023 & October 2023

We continue to hold monthly walks for women in Avenue Park to encourage use of the park.
