Vision Parks is delighted to be part of Love Parks Week 2026, a nationwide celebration of the vital role parks and green spaces play in our lives. Running from 24 July to 2 August 2026, this annual initiative, led by Keep Britain Tidy, highlights the importance of parks for our physical health, mental well-being, and community spirit.
This year marks another proud chapter in Vision’s ongoing commitment to our local green spaces. Parks are more than just places to relax – they help clean our air, support local wildlife, and create opportunities for recreation, reflection, and connection with nature.
Throughout the week, parks across Redbridge will host a vibrant programme of events and activities for all ages and interests. From wellbeing walks and volunteering opportunities to water sports, cricket and tennis sessions, and storytelling exhibitions at Valentines Mansion, there’s something for everyone to enjoy and explore, see the full list below:
