Quick answer
What does Friends of Howwood Park do?
Friends of Howwood Park is set up to look after, maintain and improve Howwood Park, including hosting classes and events, for the benefit of local people. We do this by litter picking at the park, refiling dog poo bags in dispensers around the park, sweeping up leaves, planting and more. We have a Pavilion within the park which we lease from Renfrewshire Council. We use this to host classes such as art, crochet and cooking classes, and a club for elderly people. We also use it to sell refreshments to park users at weekends, and to provide a toilet facility.
