Plymouth's green spaces

Did you know that over a third of Plymouth is green space? That includes parks, allotments, nature reserves, cemeteries and those neighbourhood greens at the end of your road.

These are important places for people to relax, enjoy nature, take children to play or for sport or recreation. They are essential for the health and well-being of the city.

We look after and develop 950 hectares of these open spaces within the city, working to provide a better cleaner, safer, greener environment and quality of life for the residents of Plymouth.

• Allotments
• Grounds and foreshore maintenance
• Nature Reserves
• Parks and open spaces
• Playgrounds
• Sport pitches

Working with the community

Community involvement in the management and development of green spaces is important so that they serve the needs of all in the community.

We work with the community in a number of ways:

• Friends Groups
• Stepping Stones to Nature
