Pitches in parks are still mostly used by men and boys. Girls tell us these spaces feel unwelcoming, and thy don’t go to the park for a kick about.
Let’s design parks that work for more people.

Girls' use of parks drops after the age of 11. At a time when they should be gaining independence, many girls start to avoid parks.
Why? They feel that parks aren’t for them - there is nothing to do. Also, many state they don’t feel safe.
