Lee Valley Regional Park

Why do we think it is important?

• The Park has always, and will continue, to play an important role as a location for a range of urban infrastructure.
• There is a universal need to mitigate the impacts of climate change. The Park has an important role to play by:
  • Managing increased flood risk
  • Conserving and enhancing scarce resources, in particular water resources
  • Offsetting urban heat island effects
  • Meeting the open space needs of a growing population
  • Make energy production, food production and waste management local
• The Park has the potential to become a national model, showing how communities can be supported and sustained
  through effective management of open space, sport, leisure, recreation and nature conservation.
