Get Outdoors and Celebrate Love Parks Week

July 26th – Aug 4th

It’s time to celebrate the summer and get outdoors to visit your local parks and green spaces.

Love Parks Week runs between July 26th and August 4th and has been created to get people to think about how green spaces benefit the health and wellbeing of yourself, your friends and family and your local community.

Why should we celebrate parks:

>They are a great place to meet friends and family to socialise and/or meet new people.

>They provide a space to exercise, whether you like to run, play football or cycle.

>Being outside in the fresh air can help boost your mood and help you feel less stressed.

>Parks provide a habitat for wildlife as well as improve the air quality in the area.

>Green spaces can offer a place for children and adults to learn outside the classroom.
