Queen's Park Area Residents' Association

We are the Queen's Park Area Residents' Association. We have been active for over 50 years Regular updates will be posted here or on our website.

As well as all year round community support, QPARA also organizes and runs a number of yearly events in and around the area. We are best known for the long standing Queen's Park Day which is becoming more and more successful every September. We also run the biennial Open Gardens & Studios, a day of surprising and stimulating studios and gorgeous greenery to please all. Starting last year, we launc

hed the Queen's Park Book Festival to great acclaim. We featured names such as Sebastian Faulks, Robert Webb, Natalie Haynes, Philip Hensher and Marcus Berkmann. This year's Festival promises to be better still and will be spread over two days.

Pretty devastating to see this this morning.
QPARA has worked so hard to plant and maintain these lovely olive trees for many years.

A wonderful reminder from former local resident Daniel Coughlin of what the southern end Salusbury Road used to look like. (NB colour pic is a modern render)

The fire station was in use until WWII and only demolished to make way for the present police station.
