Why Parkscriptions?

There is a growing consensus that nature has many health benefits, from increased physical activity to mental, emotional, and community health benefits.

• Nature exposure has demonstrated benefits for general wellbeing as well as for specific symptoms relating to anxiety, depression and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
• Being outdoors supports a wide range of physical health issues, including increasing physical activity in children, increasing vitamin D in people of all ages, and decreasing blood sugar for diabetics.
• Public parks and green open spaces have social, economic, and environmental benefits for our surrounding communities.

Parkscriptions would not be possible without the generous contributions from our supports:
