The 'Friends of Langley Park' are a group of like-minded individuals and families who share a common love of the park.

Orienteering trail - this is a bit like a treasure hunt, finding marker posts in the park by using a map with clues. There is no set route so you have to figure out the best way round yourself. It makes you walk round parts of the park that you would not normally see, is great fun and interesting. Everyone welcome - a great family event for all ages. Maps (small fee) available from Black Park offices or pay online and posted to you.

The Group will also become involved in supporting and promoting events and activities within the HLF Project and Bucks Country Parks.

The Heritage Lottery Fund has been awarded to help undertake vital work needed to support the restoration of Langley Park, with a view to a further possible award being made in due course. Specialists have been brought in to undertake various surveys of the Park.
