A garden oasis bringing people together to be healthy and happy
Calthorpe Community Garden
Calthorpe is a friendly space where everyone is welcome to meet, get active, grow, and feel part of a community. For over 40 years, we’ve been helping people look after their physical and mental well-being while making the neighbourhood greener and more sustainable.
Open seven days a week, we offer sports, gardening, creative and cultural activities - giving people a chance to connect, learn new skills, and support each other. At Calthorpe, we look after both our community and the environment.
We’re just a 10 minute walk from Kings Cross – and we look forward to welcoming you soon!

Since 1984, Calthorpe has been supporting its diverse community in a variety of ways, including providing sports and education to its users. With a positive impact on the environment, we have ingrained sustainable practices into all that we do. Check out our 30th anniversary video here to find out what has been happening over the past four decades!
We take the health and safety of everyone coming to the garden very seriously. For more details, you will find all our policies, including our safeguarding policies, here.
