Love Parks Week with PIPYN!

25th July to 3rd August 2025 is Love Parks Week: A week-long celebration highlighting the vital role green spaces play in boosting the health and wellbeing of residents and communities.

Last month, CTM’s Merthyr PIPYN Team partnered with the Merthyr Junior Parkrun, a free fun, and friendly 2k event for juniors (children aged 4 to 14 year olds).

To celebrate the end of Love Parks Week, CTM’s Merthyr PIPYN team will be joining the next Merthyr Junior Parkrun on Sunday 3rd August, 9am, at Merthyr Leisure Village Park.

Shelley Powell, Dietetic Professional Manager said: “PIPYN is a programme dedicated to supporting children (age 3-7 years) and their families to achieve healthy behaviours, through family-based support sessions and the programme is fully embedded within plans to build healthy environments around the family.

The PIPYN team is passionate about supporting access to green spaces in CTMUHB and raising the profile of the amazing parks we have on our doorstep. They help to bring communities together, providing opportunities to connect with nature and increase physical activity. We are delighted to have partnered with Merthyr’s Junior Parkrun, and can’t wait for the next event.”
