Sports and Parks in Barnet


A journey through the greenest parts of Barnet features sporting scenes of a Sunday league football and bowls matches.

From parachutists to bowling greens, this amateur film records a diverse slice of local life and green spaces, including Torrington and Friary Park. Sites of interest include a stone monument dedicated to the life of Queen Elizabeth, a garden commemorating 60th anniversary of the scouts and Grade II listed old Friern Barnet town hall.
