Welcome to the Friends of Portswood Rec.

 

Our website is currently being reorganised.  Please bear with us meanwhile.

 

The Friends of Portswood Rec is a group of local people who enjoy visiting this green space.  Working with both Southampton City Council (SCC) and other groups, we're aiming to improve facilities and increase biodiversity in the Rec.  We're doing this, as volunteers, through initiatives such as the weekly gardening group, and ongoing fundraising for new play equipment. 

 

We're delighted that Portswood Rec has retained the prestigious Green Flag award for another two years, thanks to the combined work of the Friends and SCC. We're also proud to be part of the city-wide initiative of developing and promoting more welcoming green spaces.

 

Some of you will have already seen the new bench in the garden. There's space for a wheelchair or buggy alongside the bench so everyone is included.  The Gardening Group have held a pre-season snowdrop planting session with help from the Scouts, and are now planning for the year ahead. This will include a periodic change in the day when the group meet, so there will be an option on a Saturday as well as the usual Sundays.
