Abbey Park
GP-prescribed. Park-delivered.
Every NHP site is co-designed with primary care. Clinicians prescribe activity; we deliver it on the doorstep — safely, socially and consistently.
Total Accessibility
Level paths, seated rest points every 200m, and routes audited for mobility aids and visual impairment.
Preventative Strength
Evidence-based strength + balance protocols that reduce falls risk and rebuild functional confidence.
Civic Park Upgrades
We co-invest in benches, signage, surfacing and lighting — leaving parks better than we found them.
Professional Leadership
All sessions led by HCPC-registered physios, exercise physiologists, or GPs with lifestyle-medicine training.
Voices from the path.
From participants and the GPs who refer them.
"I was housebound after my hip. Six weeks of Steady Steps and I'm walking to the shops again."
"It's the first prescription my patients actually look forward to filling. Outcomes speak for themselves."
"We've folded NHP into our social-prescribing pathway. The fall-rate data has been remarkable."
Community obesity prevention and preventive healthcare in UK parks
Neighbourhood Health Parks (NHP) is a UK community interest company turning local parks into preventive health infrastructure. Our clinician-led, NHS-aligned outdoor classes focus on community obesity prevention, falls prevention, cardiac rehabilitation walks, and family health and wellness — free at the point of use, with no GP referral required.
We believe the cheapest, kindest medicine for most adults — gentle movement, daylight, and a sense of belonging — is already growing in the park five minutes from their front door. NHP is part of a growing movement around nature-based health interventions, the NHS prevention strategy, walkable neighbourhoods, and population health.
