Own your park day and night

Long winter nights mean less time to enjoy parks and green spaces in the daylight, but don't let that put you off enjoying these free public spaces. They remain important for our physical and mental health. Bright reflective clothing, tech solutions and friends or neighbours are some of the solutions to enable you to continue to benefit from getting outdoors.

Is Covid keeping kids out of parks?

Children have been staying away from our parks and green spaces during the Covid pandemic. The finding comes from an online study of 8 to 15 year olds for Natural England. While this age group care for nature, they have become cut off from it, raising concerns for their physical and mental health. It's not clear whether fear of the virus or an increase in older park users has caused this displacement.
