All green open spaces get a 5 star rating from me, even if it does not have a children's play area, tennis courts etc. Developers are slowly stealing all our green spaces to build on because people are so ignorant about the benefits of such spaces that they allow it to happen. Japan are way ahead when it comes to the importance of natural environments and the effects they have on our health.

Tree therapy or bathing (Shinrin yoku) is the practice of walking and taking in of forests and woods. Plants release chemicals that give us a positive health boost but people opt to stay indoors playing on their mobiles, watching screen or being totally oblivious to our relationship with the natural environment. Lodge Farm Park is great, get out and smell the breeze, take a walk, feel the natural energy and let it overwhelm you.

Your children need outdoor time more than indoor corrosive environments. Get out and give your body the nature it was built for.
