Celebrating Love Parks – Enjoy Westminster Parks and Green Spaces

by

Celebrating Love Parks 2024

Make the Most our Parks and Open Spaces!

Love Parks week is an annual campaign from KeepBritainTidy.org celebrating parks, green spaces, and the dedicated volunteers and workers that look after them all year round. This year, Love Parks week runs from 26 July – 4 August.

Green spaces play a vital role in boosting the health and wellbeing of residents and communities. From providing spaces for communities to come together, socialise, play and engage in group activities and events, to allowing some time for solo activities like walking, and reading to decompress, enjoy nature and get away from the grind of day to day life, they are truly versatile.

Westminster has over 80 parks and open spaces (30 of which have Green Flag status), so plenty to choose from if you are a resident, study, or work in the area. You can find out more on our dedicated Parks and Open webpage.

Make the most of it – read, walk, exercise, relax, meet a friend, play or simply enjoy nature.
