Parks and Green Spaces
The resources in this hub have been designed to help people and groups who are interested in protecting, managing and improving their local parks and green spaces.
Parks and green spaces bring huge benefits to us as individuals and communities, improving both our physical and mental wellbeing. They bring cleaner air, a space to unwind or exercise, and a place for our community to come together and celebrate.
The resources in this hub will be particularly useful for anyone already involved or interested in becoming involved in their local park or green space - be it through setting up and running a project or volunteering.
