What is Herts Summer Parks?

Commissioned by Hertfordshire County Council (HCC), the Herts Summer Parks programme is an initiative aimed at plugging the gap in provision for 12- to 16-year-olds across Hertfordshire during the summer holiday period. The programme takes place in five public parks throughout August, offering a range of sports, wellbeing, and arts and crafts activities, as well as providing young people with a voucher to redeem a nutritious meal from a local food provider.
