Building greener communities: Bedfordshire housebuilder backs Local Green Spaces

Organised by Keep Britain Tidy, Love Parks Week celebrates the value of parks and green spaces and the vital role they play in bringing communities together while promoting better mental health and wellbeing for everyone.

Green open spaces on new developments offer a great deal of benefits, enhancing the quality of life for residents and contributing to a more sustainable environment.

As well the play areas and open space at Willow Grove, Barratt and David Wilson Homes is highlighting other parks and open spaces in the local area ideal for its new residents to explore.

In the surrounding area is Addison Howard Park. This park is a spacious green area featuring tennis and basketball courts, football and cricket pitches, outdoor fitness equipment, and a vibrant play area, making it ideal for sports enthusiasts, families, and anyone looking to enjoy the outdoors.

Another great place to explore is Great Denham Country Park. This country park runs alongside the River Great Ouse, and provides paths for walking, running and cycling. As well as this, there is new play areas and lots of space to play and enjoy riverside walks and nature.
