Love Parks Week 2023


Love Parks week is right around the corner and off the back of the incredible news that nine of Redbridge Parks have been awarded the Green Flag award it’s the best time to get out and show your local parks some love.

The parks team will be starting a new set of activities during Love Parks Week. Go Green Roadshow is organised by Our Neighbourhood and will feature activities for all the family. Some of the things taking place will include card making, reusable nappy demos, compost bottle making, a fashion show and trash dance, a litter relay and tin can alley and more!
