Between May and September 2019, Summer of Parks led a conversation about our nation's green spaces. Each week we discussed a different topic and invited you to get involved.
As part of our work to champion the parks and green spaces that act as the green hearts and lungs of our communities, we brought Have a Field Day, UK's Best Park 2019 and the Green Space Index together as part of one long ‘Summer of Parks’. Between mid-May and mid-September 2019, we celebrated everything that we all love about our local parks and green spaces, leading discussions on the issues affecting parks and giving you plenty of opportunities to get involved along the way.
There's lots of ways to champion parks and green spaces. Explore our Green Space Index, celebrate your local green space with UK's Best Park and picnic with Have a Field Day!
Each week throughout the Summer of Parks we led a conversation on a different theme relating to parks and green spaces. You can find all the content from each week on the below pages.
