Park life
June 22nd, 2006
The bods behind Plymouth’s proposed Life Centre might want to take a look at the loveparks website.
It boasts loads of information, facts, figures and case studies to tie in with Love Parks Week, a national campaign which promotes the benefits of parks and encourages people to discover what they have to offer.
Parks, as any fool knows, are one of the most important cultural and social elements of the urban environment and are visited by some 2.5 billion people each year.
Each day of Love Parks Week will see the site focus on specific issues that affect parks and provide a range of information to encourage awareness of how good, well-maintained parks can improve quality of life and the local environment.
Suffice to say, they probably won’t be encouraging developers to rip up some ‘unused’ trees and build a glorified bowling alley. Call it a hunch.
