Our mission – to provide everyone in Edinburgh and the Lothians with access to quality greenspaces, which can help to improve their health & wellbeing
As we gradually return to normal we encourage everyone to visit their valuable local greenspaces. They offer you the chance to take part in daily exercise, to de-stress and engage with nature while also helping to improve your overall health and wellbeing. There will be lots of opportunities to participate through the Thrive Collective and Out & About
There are lots of great play parks in Edinburgh and Lothians so why not visit some including the new play park at Pentland Community Centre
You can also be kept up to date through our social media pages on Twitter and Facebook.
If there is anything else you think we could do, or if you would like to discuss things further, then please do not hesitate to get in touch through our contact page.

Our projects are designed to benefit people, wildlife, landscape and heritage and to help connect people with their natural environment.
