GoParksLondon is a project run by CPRE London in collaboration with the London Friends of Green Spaces Network. It aims to encourage you to enjoy London’s parks, share with the world why you love your park, why parks matter to you, and get involved in your local park friends group. Think of it as Love Parks Week, but all year round!

In particular we aim to:

• Promote London’s huge diversity of parks, particularly the less-well-visited ones, and encourage both residents and visitors to get out and discover them
• Raise awareness of the critical role ‘friends’ groups play, promote their activities and events and encourage people to get involved
• Support friends groups to flourish through advice and publicity with our newsletters, webinars and bespoke support.

Working to generate public support for parks helps us to protect them for future generations. London’s parks and green spaces are under more pressure than ever so we need to continuously demonstrate why we must protect them.

Our parks provide an unparalleled range of opportunities for recreation, play and sport, health and well-being, attractive and safe travel routes, nature appreciation, education and heritage and community get-togethers.

They support eco-systems, helping with water management and air cooling.

They are crucial for our wildlife and biodiversity.

In London there are around 900 parks friends groups – groups of volunteers – getting together to protect, improve and bring communities together in their local parks.
