The award-winning network of parks in the London Borough of Lewisham faces budget reallocations. Our study supplements previous objective analyses of the health and economic value of parks by measuring the perceptions of parks and green space by Lewisham residents. The comparative analysis of our observational studies and surveys indicates that local citizens overwhelmingly support these public treasures, a finding that should be taken into consideration for the future of the parks.
