Healthy Parks Healthy People
Healthy Parks Healthy People is an initiative which aims to promote the mental and physical benefits of spending time in parks.
Research has shown that visiting a park can reduce stress, boost immunity, enhance productivity, promote healing and foster psychological wellbeing.
Background
The Healthy Parks Healthy People program was developed by Parks Victoria in 2000 to encourage increased visitation to parks and gardens by highlighting their health benefits. The Parks Victoria campaign has now been extended into NSW by the Sydney Parks Group who launched the initiative in October 2003 at Centennial Parklands in Sydney.
The Sydney Parks Group is now running its own Healthy Parks Healthy People program in NSW.
