How to Celebrate Earth Day Every Day of the Year

Luckily, with the Map Your City app, discovering these hidden gems has never been easier. Join us as we celebrate Earth Day by highlighting some of the most breathtaking parks and green spaces on the Map Your City app, and learn how you can do your part to protect and preserve them.

Local green spaces

Local green spaces, such as parks and gardens, play a crucial role in enhancing the quality of life in urban areas. These spaces not only provide a retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life, but they also offer numerous health and environmental benefits.

Studies have shown that spending time in green spaces can reduce stress, improve mental health, and even lower the risk of certain diseases.

Green spaces also act as natural air purifiers, filtering out pollutants and improving overall air quality. Furthermore, they provide habitats for a variety of wildlife, helping to support biodiversity in our cities. By preserving and maintaining local green spaces, we can create more livable, sustainable, and resilient communities for all.

Check out the spaces some of the cities on Map Your City have mapped. Simply filter on “Park & Nature” and you will see them pop-up on your map.

Provincial and National Parks

Provincial and national parks play a crucial role in the preservation of the world’s natural beauty and protection of biodiversity. These protected areas offer opportunities for people to connect with nature, experience outdoor recreation, and learn about conservation.

From hiking and camping, to wildlife viewing and environmental education, provincial and national parks provide endless opportunities for exploration and discovery. With the Map Your City app, you can easily discover and navigate these incredible parks. Whether you’re looking for a day trip or a longer adventure.
