Parks are much loved spaces that are more important than ever. Your Park Bristol and Bath is the working name of the Bristol and Bath Parks Foundation; a charity that wants to connect more people to their parks and green spaces. We believe that parks should be better places to meet, play, learn, grow, breathe and enjoy nature and be welcoming to everyone.
Whether you walk, stretch, run or roll, parks enable us to exercise and relax while being close to nature. It could be flying a kite, the delight of wildflowers, or a few minutes peace, being in the park benefits both our physical and mental health and can be a lifeline for those without a garden of their own. During lockdown 70% of us report parks have had a positive impact on improving our physical and mental wellbeing.
At the heart of our parks are volunteers and Friends groups who go the extra mile to care about their green space. Together we want to cherish our parks and green spaces in Bristol and Bath to ensure a brighter future for our communities.
