Teddy Bears’ Picnic
With Greenwich Peninsula Ecology Park Events
At Greenwich Peninsula Ecology Park
Activity description
Join us for an interactive walk from the Ecology Park to Southern Park and earn your place as a member of the Teddy Bear Club. An experienced teddy bear will guide you through all the basics of becoming a teddy bear yourself – are you ready for the challenges ahead? Collect stamps as you progress along the walk, take part in games, have fun, relax, and prepare to share your new knowledge with friends and family. The sessions are taking place outdoors from 11am-12pm and 2-3pm; a ‘plan B’ for a rainy day is in place for an equal amount of fun and relaxation. Sessions are free, and no booking is required. We will meet at the gatehouse at 11am and 2pm and we recommend arriving at the start time. Stick around in the park and complete the quiz or the younger children’s trail to learn even more about colours in nature.

We return to Archbishop's Park, this time round to excavate and install the foundations for the plinth of the 'boy with dog' statue that is to be unveiled in the park next month. There are water pipes and tree roots nearby, so we will be carefully excavating the area with hand tools, then lining the area, edging it with small pavers and pouring concrete to create a solid foundation for the 2 tonne bronze statue.
