Love Parks Week began in 2006 with a simple aim: to encourage people to visit, enjoy and take pride in their local parks and green spaces, driving the message that our parks and green spaces are essential to healthy, happy and strong communities.

Here in Carrickfergus we were very keen to promote our rich biodiversity during our Love Parks Week. It was a really enjoyable week with some great groups and sightings.
