Good Parks for London 2024 - Collaborative Solutions

The Good Parks for London 2024 report provides a comprehensive assessment of London’s parks services, alongside detailed case studies demonstrating innovation and collaboration across the sector.

Now in its eighth edition, the report evaluates borough performance against ten key criteria including public satisfaction, quality standards, events, biodiversity, sustainability, and strategic planning. It also explores how parks services are responding to major challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, public health inequalities, and constrained public funding.

A key focus of this edition is collaboration — showing how councils, community organisations, and sector partners are working together to deliver better outcomes for people and nature. Case studies highlight practical approaches to co-production, data-driven decision-making, skills development, and long-term service improvement.

The report positions parks not as isolated green spaces, but as essential infrastructure supporting health, climate resilience, and social wellbeing. It provides both benchmarking data and real-world examples to support learning, improvement, and innovation across the sector.
