Lets get outside and love our parks!

Posted on 15th March 2011 by

It’s getting to that time of year again where we can all enjoy the spring weather and get outside and love our parks!

To celebrate the beginning of the warm weather, Love Parks Week is celebrating its fifth birthday and is aiming to get over 1 million people out into their local park!

Love Parks Week is an annual celebration of our parks and green spaces. It is organised by Community Spaces partner organisation, Green Space.  Love Parks Week raises awareness of what our parks have to offer, and is a campaign to save these valuable community assets.

This year, Love Parks Week is running from the 23rd-31st July, so there’s plenty of time to plan how you are going to celebrate Love Parks Week in your newly developed Community Spaces project.

For more information on how to organise your own event, visit the Love Parks Week website.

With the summer now in full swing, there is nothing better to do then get outside and enjoy your local park, and there’s no better excuse then ‘Love Parks Week.’

 The annual celebration starts from the 24th July, and continues all week until the 1st August.  There will be organised events across the country for people to get involved in.

Show your appreciation for your local parks at this years Love Parks Week from 25 July – 02 August 2009.

Love Parks Week is an annual campaign, organised by parks charity GreenSpace, to promote the benefits of parks. Founded in 2006, the campaign has grown steadily and is now established as a major event that is celebrated in parks across the country.

The campaign is asking local groups to get involved by organising an event. This can be anything from a nature walk to a music festival – as long it gets people to come together and enjoy the outdoors. Materials to help support your event are available via the Love Parks website: www.loveparksweek.org.uk

You can also use the website to find out what Love Parks Week activities are taking place in your area and if you are organising an event then you can register it online as well. So, go on – show your park some love!
