Today we're discussing the impact of urban green spaces on mental health. A recent study conducted in Melbourne followed 1,000 residents over five years. Participants who visited parks at least once a week reported 20% lower stress levels compared to those who rarely went. Interestingly, the size of the park mattered less than the frequency of visits. Even small community gardens had a positive effect, but only if people felt safe and had seating areas. The researchers also noted that social interaction in these spaces amplified the benefits. So, it's not just about having greenery, but actively using it regularly.
