The Parks Forum is inviting agencies and individuals around Australia and New Zealand to celebrate the important role that public parks play in contributing to the health of communities through Parks Week 2014.

With the theme 'Connect With Nature!', Parks Week 2014, the third staging of Parks Week in Australia and New Zealand, will be held from 3rd to 9th March next year.
