GoodGym Barnet Community Mission: “Park-to-Park” Concept Join Us in Transforming Barnet’s Streets into Vibrant Community Spaces!

Ready to make a real impact in Barnet? We’re calling on the GoodGym community—both local and beyond—to help us turn this bold vision into reality. Let’s come together to reclaim our streets, promote healthy living, and foster a strong sense of community.

Our Mission:

We aim to temporarily close select streets to motorized traffic, encouraging cycling, walking, and outdoor activities. By creating safe and vibrant spaces, we’ll show Barnet that our streets belong to everyone—not just cars.

Our Inspiration:

Inspired by Bogotá’s famous “ciclovía,” where over 100 kilometers of roads close every Sunday to celebrate community and fitness, we’re bringing a taste of that magic to Barnet. While our version might be smaller, we’re determined to make it just as impactful.
