Parks are the beating heart of our communities. They are the setting for every stage of our lives, from feeding the ducks to kicking a ball with mates; lovers walks, throwing a stick for the dog; to family picnics and sports.
You can help ensure that they continue to play their part in all our lives for generations to come.
