Help celebrate our incredible parks and green spaces this summer!
Love Parks is a week-long celebration (July 26th - August 4th) highlighting the vital role green spaces play in boosting the health and wellbeing of residents and communities.
Love Parks is your park’s chance to shine! Organise events to showcase your park's fantastic facilities and, if you have one, your Green Flag Award. This week-long celebration is the perfect opportunity to engage your local community, boost park pride, and get everyone enjoying your amazing green spaces!
If you manage or help take care of a park in your area, sign up now to receive a free resource pack in mid-June. The pack will have ideas and tools to help you promote Love Parks in your area.
More than 500 local authorities and landowners have taken part, with visitors taking part in a diverse range of fun activities, from building bug hotels and trying tai chi to enjoying live music in their local green spaces.
Why We Love Parks
Parks and green spaces are amazing! Here’s three great reasons why we ‘Love Parks’:
Healthier communities – parks encourage physical activity, reduce stress, and provide spaces for social interaction, leading to happier and healthier residents.
Stronger communities – well-maintained parks become hubs for community events, fostering a sense of belonging and pride.
Sustainable future – parks act as natural filters, improving air and water quality while mitigating climate change impacts
