Parks and open spaces are essential to Hampshire and Isle of Wight neighbourhoods. They are not only important places in supporting health and wellbeing of local communities, but are also places that encourage people to connect with each other and are a source of creativity. In this webinar, we will explore how we can create 'hubs' in park settings and learn how to make spaces more attractive for local communities.

We'll be joined by Courtside CiC, a community interest company dedicated to increasing physical activity and promoting community through the transformation of local parks. They invest in local parks, building local partnerships from Sheffield to Southampton, generating 90,000 active customers and 1.5 million hours of community participation and counting!
