The Friends of Cottenham Park have worked with Merton Council to honour local resident Michael Woods with a tree planting and plaque in the park.
Michael was a founding member and original chair of the Friends of Cottenham Park group, and served actively for many years benefitting the park and local community. He passed away in 2021. His wife served as the secretary of the group as well. She participated in the dedication and ribbon cutting ceremony in the park on Easter Day. (shown with Jill Smith after the ribbon cutting)
The Prunus Sunset Boulevard cherry tree near the pavilion will bloom white flowers in spring and provide bright autumn colour as well.
