CELEBRATING THE PARKLIFE OF A MAJOR CITY

A new community-driven initiative has been set up to celebrate Bristol's parks and green spaces.

The Bristol Parks Project will feature dedicated websites offering information, photographs and videos on every park, nature reserve and community garden in the city.

Organisers say the parks play "a vital role in our wellbeing" and want to encourage more people to explore them.

Images include squirrels in Brandon Hill Park and deer at Ashton Court.

The pictures have been collated by Karol Miksza and Krystian Maliszewski from Boys in Bristol Photography.

They have been taken at locations across the city at different times throughout the seasons.

As well as well-known much-visited locations such as Brandon Hill and the Avon Gorge, the websites also promote green spaces on the fringes of the city such as Oldbury Court and Troopers Hill.

"Our aim is to reconnect people with nature and bring back the sense of community," the photographers said.
