December in the Royal Parks
|
Hi Andy,
Winter in the Royal Parks is a time of quiet magic, a season for slowing down and taking time to rest and reflect. As we prepare to say goodbye to 2025, we wanted to look back on a wonderful year at The Royal Parks charity.
From exciting new projects to conservation awards, community initiatives and spectacular events, there’s so much to celebrate. We've selected our favourite moments and milestones to share with you. |

|
Our team has been building the resilience of London's treasured wildlife habitats. We’ve enhanced 20 acres of wildflower meadows, planted over 200,000 plant species and almost 10,000 saplings and trees. |
|
|
Work has continued on the new garden in The Regent's Park to commemorate the life of Queen Elizabeth II. This November we welcomed the public to our free planting day, where a variety of spring bulbs were planted. |
|
|
Our Learning programme has continued to provide inspiring outdoor education experiences throughout the year, welcoming over 9,000 pupils to the central parks. |
|
|
From the Lionesses victory parade in July to our biggest BST Hyde Park yet, a record-breaking Royal Parks Half Marathon and the return of Winter Wonderland this November, 2025 has been full of treasured moments at events across the parks.
|
|
|
We've begun an ambitious project to restore the well-loved Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Playground in Kensington Gardens. Re-opening in summer of 2026, the renewed space will create an accessible and nature-rich haven for all children.
