<p>The Government recognises the value of parks and green spaces in providing vibrant
and inclusive locations for communities to socialise, volunteer, work, and exercise.
We have seen during the COVID-19 pandemic how important access to parks and green
spaces are to local communities. We recognise that green spaces foster health, well-being,
integration, and social engagement. There are no immediate plans to continue the Pocket
Parks Scheme. However, as we move beyond the threat of COVID-19, we will explore how
we can best support all urban parks and green spaces, taking into account the Government’s
environmental, social, and health priorities.</p>
