Parks, play and open spaces 2025

We manage many parks, open spaces and play areas in Dacorum. These green spaces are a great place to relax. Whether you want to read a book, walk the dog or spend the day with the family, there's something for everyone.

Our Parks and Open Spaces team works with Friends groups to improve the quality of our green spaces. This includes developing new facilities, planting flowers and shrubs and maintaining playgrounds.
