Welcome

Welcome to the website of the Friends of Cannizaro Park, a voluntary organisation which is dedicated to the improvement and support of the beautiful Cannizaro Park, a Grade II * listed park in the heart of Wimbledon Common and a stone’s throw from Wimbledon Village.

The Friends of Cannizaro Park were first established in 1997 and now have over 500 Members and Life Members. Together they help to ensure that local and not so local people, who enjoy and care about the Park, can make a real difference to the appearance diversity and upkeep of the gardens, woodlands and peaceful walks throughout this lovely and historic park.

Welcome to Spring

Welcome to spring. I think it was 4 days in February and since then we have had snow and rain with cold days and even colder nights. The effect of the bad weather has stopped a lot of plant growth and shortened the flowering season, particularly for our lovely little crocus although they looked marvellous in the weak winter sun.However cold weather in spring is normal most years and helps many of the plants in the park to develop their flower buds and help to kill a number of the more voracious insects that love to eat the emerging flowers.In April we will see the camellias and magnolias along with the start of the main Rhododendron season.Many other plants flower at this time of year including the maples by the Diana statue as well as such beauties as the cherries and crab apples.

Event Calendar

Join us for a guided walk to see some of the beauty of the flowers in the Park on Sunday 12th May.

The walk will be about one and a half hours and will start at the Teapot Fountain in the main drive at 10 30 am.
