About
Our Work
Betts Park was established in 1928 by Frederick Betts, in memory of his mother, as a free and accessible space to be held in perpetuity by the community for recreation and exercise. Friends of Betts Park are local volunteers striving to keep Mr Betts' dream alive by bringing the community of Anerley together and working hard to maintain a healthy and sustainable park that benefits everyone. We hope you’ll join us!
