The Hoblingwell Hub

Walking is a great way to improve your mental and physical health, and we want more people than ever to be involved.

Bring friends and join us as we build up to Saturday 26 April, when we’ll be aiming for the biggest walking weekend in parkrun history — aiming for the most walkers at parkrun EVER!

Walking is for everyone at parkrun, and parkwalk is here to show it!

New to parkrun? Coming back after a break? Just looking for a relaxed way to get active?

Whatever your motivation, this is your moment.

Would you like to see improvements in the playground at Hoblingwell? Please help shape the future...

Hoblingwell Playground Consultation 📋

The playground and multi-use games area at Hoblingwell Wood Recreation Ground in St Pauls Cray could benefit from improvement to the equipment currently offered. The Friends of Hoblingwell, together with the London Borough of Bromley and their parks management contractor, idverde, are gathering public and stakeholder opinions about this playground.

This consultation will help to identify:
- how the playground is currently used;
- any barriers to use that may currently exist; and
- what improvements would be of most benefit to current and future users of the playground.

The information collected will be considered in developing plans and designs for changes to improve the playground, as well as supporting our fundraising to deliver these improvements.

Please fill out the following survey:
