Dear John, 

The sun is shining, and it's the perfect time to celebrate our parks and green spaces! Love Parks Week kicks off today, July 26, until August 4. 

We love parks because they offer so much: 

• Free spaces for everyone – parks provide opportunities for exercise, relaxation, and socialising, all without breaking the bank. 
   

• Boosts for health and wellbeing – spending time in nature is proven to reduce stress, improve mood, and encourage physical activity. 
   

• Stronger communities – parks bring people together, fostering a sense of belonging and connection. 
   

• Climate change champs – parks absorb carbon dioxide, cool our cities, and help reduce flooding. 

This week, we're inviting you to share your love for parks! Tell us about your favourite green space and why it holds a special place in your heart.  

Share your stories and photos on social media using #LoveParks and we’ll share as many as possible throughout the week!
 
Let's celebrate the parks that enrich our lives and continue to protect these vital green havens. 

Thanks for your support, 
The Keep Britain Tidy Team
