Naturally Thriving: Rethinking Urban Green Space
Our online conference
Monday 17th - Wednesday 19th October 2022
Building a sustainable future for urban green space
Who we are and what we do
Future Parks Accelerator is a collaboration between the National Lottery Heritage Fund, National Trust and the Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC).
By working with Local Authorities and their partners from places across the nation, our programme is designed to protect and develop natural resources in urban areas, and make sure quality green space is accessible for everyone, now and into the future.

“Future Parks Accelerator isn’t simply patching-up a few problem parks. It is enabling local authorities and communities to take a longer-term, strategic approach to funding and maintaining them, so future generations will be able to enjoy their many benefits hundreds of years from now.”

“We need to give parks a reboot and start thinking about them as essential elements of our communities in the same way we think about housing or transport.”
Our projects
We selected nine places – covering 20,000 hectares and impacting a population of 5 million – for their ambitious and creative plans to put green spaces at the heart of local communities.
