The new Parks Hub website has now arrived, making parks and open spaces more interactive for residents says Hounslow Council.

The digital platform sits on the council-owned 'Let's Talk Hounslow' website, which launched in summer 2023 and is the local authority's bespoke engagement platform.

Parks Hub offers a 'more convenient' way for residents to have their say on potential park improvement works and consultations, and will make it 'easier' for communities to see what's on across Hounslow's parks.

The new Parks Hub will also bring in 'real time' noticeboard-style updates to keep residents better informed with key information, this was previously only available by visiting the parks in person.

Councillor Salman Shaheen, Cabinet Member for Recreation, Public Spaces, and Parking said: "I'm delighted to be able to bring a fresh and innovative way of improving the conversation between the Council and residents.

"Hounslow has more than 160 parks and open spaces and is one of the greenest boroughs in London – it's vital that residents and visitors feel connected to their local environment.

"The Parks Hub will ensure that families have a convenient platform to access local park information and events, it will also offer a simple and fast way for residents to have their say on the consultations that matter most to them."

Current consultations such as Feltham's Watermans Park's Community Garden proposal and Hanworth Park's Cycle Hub survey, are now accepting feedback through the platform.

In summer 2023, the council published its Nature Recovery Action Plan (NRAP, 2023-2028) with the new platform being 'key' to the delivery of the plan.
