Parks & Open Spaces Market Research

Parks & Open Spaces Market Research

Parks & open spaces market research focusses on areas that are often key community assets that provide affordable access to nature, supporting both physical and mental wellbeing. These are also spaces where communities come together.

Parks, recreation grounds and other public open spaces are a valuable community resource providing environmental, social and economic benefits to residents and are also crucial in tackling the climate emergency; something else we’re passionate about.

Given their important, but perhaps under-recognised, role in making people’s lives better, using community engagement to maximise park design and usage is something we work to support.

In addition, we are experienced in supporting resident engagement programmes for other green public spaces such as allotments and cemeteries, helping our clients to understand what residents value about these spaces and to help formulate improvement plans to maximise their usage.

Our work has spanned from park user surveys to supporting research and formal consultations on the redevelopment of parks and other open spaces including allotments and cemeteries, managing a Citizens Panel for a National Park, as well as large scale utilisation of parks and gardens for events.
