Try a new park this month in Broxbourne

Throughout July, ParksHerts is encouraging people to explore their local parks.

Fortunately for Broxbourne residents, there are lots of beautiful, award-winning open spaces to choose from, from historic Cedars Park in Waltham Cross to picturesque Barclay Park in Hoddesdon.

So, whether it’s to let the kids run about, walk the dog, relax in nature or to exercise, the Borough’s parks are perfect for free, fun days out during the summer holidays.

The ParksHerts website contains information on Hertfordshire’s parks and open spaces to help residents make more of the county’s green spaces by providing information about walking, cycling and running routes; historical and wildlife guides; activity trails; local events; maps and more.

ParksHerts is easy to use and a great website for local people. Users can search for the perfect day out based on who is going and what they want to do and see. It also includes useful information about park facilities and accessibility. The website is compatible with mobile devices and tablets, so users can find out more about the parks whilst out and about. It can show the user’s locations, so they can find the nearest toilet, discover more about the history of the area or find a new route to explore on the move.

Residents can visit the ParkHerts website to find their perfect park. They can ‘like’ ParksHerts on Facebook,‘follow’ @ParksHerts on Twitter and Instagram and search #TryANewParksHerts for daily posts.

This initiative supports Hertfordshire’s Year of Physical Activity, which is about getting people outside and active
