Our parks and open spaces give the opportunities for families and communities to get together.
Organised events and activities on many of our sites help to being communities together but informal activities such as dog walking and cycling (where allowed) enable like minded people to share their pastimes.
Most of our sites offer volunteering opportunities from regular volunteer days which help us to maintain the site in tip top condition to ad hoc seasonal events such as thinning trees and welcoming visitors and providing site information. Our volunteers provide an invaluable service and give us a direct connection with the local community and park users.
Where we have buildings on our sites we will, where possible, open them up to be used as a community resource.

Our performance is reported each year in our Annual Report and Accounts.
In 2015/16, more than 45,600 people visited our spaces, whether this was to take part in organised community activities or informally, such as spending time with families or walking the dog.
More than 14,400 days of volunteer work was generously given on our sites in 2015/16
It felt like a really worthy cause and seeing the result of hundreds of young trees planted at the end of a hot day digging was satisfying!
