Are you ready for Parks Week this year?
From April 28th to May 4th, we’re celebrating the irreplaceable value of urban green spaces during World Parks Week 2025. This year is extra special as World Urban Parks marks its 10th anniversary, making it the perfect time to reflect on how large urban parks have shaped communities, improved well-being, and strengthened our environment over the past decade—and to look ahead at what’s next.
Why Celebrate Large Urban Parks?
Our theme for 2025, “A Decade of Impact: Parks for the People,” celebrates the invaluable role of urban parks over the past ten years and looks ahead to the future. These spaces are more than just patches of green—they are essential to the health, resilience, and vibrancy of our cities.
This year’s theme will explore:
- A Decade of Growth – Showcasing the impact of World Urban Parks over the past 10 years.
- Parks as Essential Infrastructure – Highlighting their critical role in public health, climate resilience, and social cohesion.
- The Future of Green Spaces – Exploring innovations that will shape parks and urban landscapes in the next decade.
- Building a Lasting Legacy – Encouraging cities to develop long-term strategies that ensure parks and open spaces remain vital for future generations.
