"Local people have told us they value their parks and this winter saw the best quality scores ever for their maintenance. These events reinforce the pride we have in the borough's parks through a summer of fun where our green spaces are at the heart of the vibrant activities.
There are a variety of sports and music sessions going oDestination Destinatin Parks aims to encourage the positive use of parks by local people and visitors in a bid to provide diversionary fun activities and ensure crime and anti-social behaviour is crowded out by fun events for all the family.
