The eight Royal Parks are; Bushy Park, The Green Park, Greenwich Park, Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, Regent's Park, Richmond Park and St James's Park.

The Parks are a fantastic national resource: 5,000 acres of green space, 280 monuments and fountains, 13 playgrounds, 5 pelicans and completely free for everyone to enjoy. And people do enjoy the Parks: around 30 million people walk, dine, laugh, relax, meditate and contemplate in the parks every year.

Keeping 5,000 acres of parkland stocked with trees and other plants is no small task. We have our own nursery to meet the demand, and a dedicated team of Horticulturalists and skilled gardeners keep the Parks looking great all year round. Part of our remit is also to conserve the Parks for future generations.

The Royal Parks is an executive agency of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).
