Friends of Shepherds Hill Gardens🌳 Tuesday GoodGym Group Run: Shepherds Hill Gardens! 🌳
This Tuesday, join GoodGym Barnet for a group run to support Shepherds Hill Gardens in Highgate—a peaceful, historic park with views across the city. The Gardens are managed by a dedicated yet elderly friends group led by Pat. They need our help because many of the volunteers are now in their 70s and 80s. Let’s bring the energy and help this incredible green space continue to thrive!
🛠️ Tasks We’ll tackle essential work to keep the Gardens beautiful and accessible. Tasks include: • Clearing leaves from pathways and grass • Cutting back brambles and ivy • Collecting rubbish to keep the area clean and safe • Trimming and tidying hedges
🗓️ Plan Meet at the Phoenix Cinema at 6:45 pm for a warm-up and run to the Gardens (about 2.5km each way), or join us directly at the benches at 7:20 pm. It’s only a quick jog from the Phoenix, and you’ll be joining a group committed to helping our community stay green and vibrant.

📜 History In 1928, this lush spot was transformed into a local park, with views over Queen’s Wood, Highgate Wood, and even Alexandra Palace. Join us to keep its history alive and connect with our local community!
Lace up, bring some energy, and help us make a difference—hope to see you Tuesday!

Friends of Shepherds Hill GardensWalkable
You will be able to join a group walking to the task if you'd prefer not to run.
Options are available to run between 3km and 5km in total
Remember that we run/walk to and from the task, so you'll only be running/walking for half this distance in one go.
This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us.
