DEar Ipswich
Our town is full of beautiful parks.
Ipswich measures 10,240 acres. 28 public parks and wildlife habitats.
1235 acres of OPen Green land.
Plus, we’ve been awarded ‘Tree City of the World’ status for three consecutive years.
But the real story isn’t in the stats & numbers.
parks are for people.
they are where our life happens.
For everyone. Open. Welcoming. Democratic.
We want to change the story people tell about Ipswich. Not by becoming something else. But by showing what we already are.
Parklifeipswich
A creative project by the people, for the people.
Residents, creatives, businesses, all voices welcome. Celebrating what we have.
Ipswich has a motto:MUNIA CIVITATIS DECUS CIVIUM
In today’s language, we understand this as:
‘The strength of Ipswich lies in its citizens’.
Our parks show this in action. At a time when people feel divided and disconnected,
our parks give us shared spaces to belong, together.
