Find Your Active Here is all about helping local residents discover the brilliant green spaces in their communities and inspiring everyone to use them in ways that feel good.
We’re starting with a trial in two locations: Thurrock and Harlow. In each space, you’ll now find our bright, welcoming Find Your Active Here signs. They’re simple reminders that these parks, paths, and pockets of nature are yours to enjoy, whether you’re walking the dog, meeting friends for a stroll, taking the kids out to play, or finding a quiet moment to stretch, breathe, and reset.
Why Find Your Active Here?
- Local spaces, local wellbeing – Essex is full of green spaces that support physical and mental health. We want to help more people make the most of them.
- Move your way – There’s no right or wrong way to be active. A gentle walk, a jog, a family game, or a mindful moment all count.
- Community connection – These spaces bring people together. They’re places to feel part of something bigger.
- Accessible and free – No membership, no equipment, no pressure. Just step outside and start where you are.
Where We’re Starting
We’re piloting Find Your Active Here in two locations, with more to come across Essex as the campaign grows. Choose your area to explore what’s happening locally:
