About Us

Greenspace makes a big difference to our quality of life and sense of place. Parks and greenspaces are our natural health service, our children’s outdoor classrooms and our cities’ green lungs.

greenspace scotland has provided a national lead on greenspace since 2002. As Scotland’s parks and greenspace charity, we have been influential in shaping a supporting policy context for greenspace, promoting good practice on greenspace delivery, and pioneering new approaches to managing and resourcing parks and greenspaces.

Never before has our work been more important. Recent experiences of extreme weather events have led many to re-evaluate the importance of greenspace and blue-green infrastructure in our lives and places. The Covid 19 pandemic highlighted the value of local high quality greenspace and the related socio-economic disparity across the nation in terms of easy access to this resource.
