Parks Week
Parks Week is an annual celebration of the vital role that parks play in creating liveable cities and thriving communities.
Celebrate Parks Week by getting out of your living room and enjoying the outdoors from Monday 2nd to Monday 9th March 2026.
The focus for Parks Week 2026 is celebrating parks and other open spaces as important green infrastructure. They support:
- Physical and mental wellbeing.
- Climate resilience and natural water management.
- Urban cooling and shade.
- Biodiversity and habitat.
- Social connection and cultural expression.
- Children’s play and lifelong recreation.
