Green health

Your physical and mental wellbeing are shaped by your environment.

This is why our Public Health team works closely with our planners, leisure and sports, parks and recreation, housing, and highways departments (among others) to design and action projects big and small to benefit our residents’ mental and physical health.

Successes include the Borough’s first traffic free green route (greenway) between Finchampstead and Arborfield Green, making sure the redeveloped Market Place includes trees, and designing a range of activities especially for people with dementia.

Make healthy habits not promises

If your New Year’s resolutions include health and wellbeing, we can point you in the right direction to find an activity that’s just right for you to help make that promise to yourself come true.

Whether you’re over (or under) 60, want to keep the children happily engaged during the holidays, love yoga or swimming, if you fancy some fresh air and stretching your legs, enjoy fishing, have a specific health condition, or just want to book a spots hall or pitch - our website can help you.

The web page also links to our leisure centres across the Borough as well as Dinton Pastures Activity Centre.
