Our Values
Bringing together a stronger community
A place for everyone
Hamworthy Park is a welcoming space for all – regardless of age, background or ability. We prioritise accessibility and ensure the park meets the diverse needs of everyone who visits or volunteers, fostering a sense of belonging and inclusivity for all.
Play time for all
We believe in the power of ‘play’ to bring joy, creativity and connection. Hamworthy Park is a place where children, families and individuals of all ages can engage in fun activities and watersports, increase their time spent outdoors and support their physical and mental well-being.
Looking after what we love, together
We’re dedicated to maintaining and improving the environment surrounding Hamworthy Park for long term community benefit. From the paddling pool to the walking paths, our park remains safe, clean and enjoyable.
A thriving hub for health & happiness
We see Hamworthy Park as a thriving space for recreation, relaxation and wellness. Whether you’re exercising, socialising or simply enjoying the natural beauty. We encourage healthy lifestyles and create opportunities for happiness and connection for everyone who visits.
Your voice matters
By involving the community in decision-making, we ensure Hamworthy Park reflects the needs and desires of its users. Through collaboration and inclusivity, we champion long term investment in the park, fostering a strong sense of community pride and ownership.
Volunteering for a stronger community
We believe in the strength of community action. Hamworthy Park thrives because of the volunteers who care for it. We empower people to give back in ways that suit them and allow them to make a difference. Every effort, big or small, is building a stronger, more connected community.
