Parks and green spaces across west Norfolk will be among hundreds of parks across the country taking part in Love Parks Week 2024.
The celebration will take place from 26 July to 4 August, bringing together local authorities, green space managers, landowners, residents and community organisations to celebrate and support our fantastic green spaces all across the country.
For the second year in a row King’s Lynn Park Run will by flying the Love Parks Week banner as part of the campaign. Music in the Bandstand continues in The Walks park on Sunday 28 July with a live performance from March Brass 2000 as well.
Cllr Bal Anota, Cabinet member for Public Open Space and Events, said:
“Our green spaces across the borough are appreciated by residents and our public open space team do a fantastic job in looking after them, this was recognised last week by the award of five green flags to parks in Hunstanton and King’s Lynn.
“Love Parks Week encourages residents to enjoy the local spaces we have and the good they do for our health and well-being.”
Keep Britain Tidy’s Chief Executive, Allison Ogden-Newton OBE, said:
“Keep Britain Tidy’s Love Parks campaign is an opportunity for everyone to celebrate, appreciate and recognise the value of their park and green space. To talk about what that green space means for them and their communities. Parks improve our health and wellbeing, and we want everyone to hear that message so that during this week of putting the spotlight on our precious parks people who may not think parks are for them, give their local space a visit.”
“The Love Parks campaign would not be possible without the backing of our local authority partners, including the Borough Council of King’s Lynn & West Norfolk, park professionals and landowners.”
