The Friends of Lloyd Park was formed in 2004 to represent park users in the ongoing management and development of Lloyd Park and Aveling Park. 

Some of the aims of FOLP are:

• To find out the needs of users of all ages and put forward ideas for future development;

• To highlight day to day problems and improve security;

• To lobby councillors and ensure coordination between council departments and the various park users;

• To referee between competing interests ensuring tax payers’ money is well spent;

• To keep up to date with each other about news and events by having a regular newsletter and regular public meetings where users can express their views.
