Looking after our own backyard

Service is not something we do once a year. It is clean-ups, mentoring, wellness events and showing up for neighbours — week in, week out, in London, Ontario.

Park Adoption

We adopted Meadowgate Park

Adopted by the club in 2025.

In 2025 the Panjabi Sports & Social Club adopted Meadowgate Park in London, Ontario. Adopting a park means we take ongoing responsibility for it: keeping it tidy, reporting anything that needs the city's attention, and treating it as a space our whole community has a stake in.

What our stewardship involves

  • Seasonal clean-ups. Volunteer teams walk the park and collect litter, with gloves, bags and safety vests supplied by the club.
  • Reporting and upkeep. We flag damaged equipment, overflowing bins and safety concerns so they get fixed quickly.
  • Family days. Clean-ups are followed by games, snacks and time together — children and seniors are as welcome as anyone.
  • Environmental education. We use the park to talk about waste, recycling and why green space matters.

Why a park

Two of our objectives meet here. Environmental awareness and sustainability asks us to promote responsibility through community clean-up events, and volunteerism and civic engagement asks us to put members to work on projects that visibly help. A park is where both become real, and it gives newcomers, youth and seniors an easy first way to take part.

Come to the next clean-up

Clean-up dates are shared by email and in the members' area. Anyone can join — you do not need to be a member.
