This report, published by GreenSpace,  outlines the many benefits that a diverse range of quality green spaces bring, covering health; communities; economic and environmental value. This document is intended to serve three primary purposes:

• To provide a platform of evidence for all types of green space services at the local level, raising awareness of the inherently unique contribution that they make to the social, environmental and economic fabric of our towns and cities.
• Provide the organisations that manage parks and green spaces teams with a framework for applying this evidence to enable them to position and make the case for the contribution that the service can make to local outcomes in order for them to collaborate more effectively during this period of unprecedented financial difficulty.
• Generating greater understanding of the unique contribution that community management of green spaces can make in developing a sense of ownership and community engagement.   [loaded 1 April 2011]
