Barnwell Country Park Friends – Oundle, Northamptonshire

The Friends of Barnwell Country Park (FoBCP) are a group of people from the local community who work with the Park staff to help get the best from the Park and who are committed to the future improvement and continued existence of Barnwell Country Park (BCP).

Formed in 2007, we are an active voice for the community of current and future users of BCP. We work for continuing improvement through liaison between Northants Northamptonshire County Council's Park staff, Park volunteers, and you. More FoBCP details at our About page.

Many of us are devoted to the Park not just as a constant source of natural beauty and exercise but also because we have grown up with it. We hope that the Friends will help introduce future generations to the opportunities and joy BCP has to offer all of us in our busy lives.
