Nature, Parks and Open Spaces
Specialists in Nature and Parks Market Research
Inspiring better experiences across every park, garden and green space.
We specialise in helping organisations that manage national parks, nature and heritage green spaces and urban open spaces to gain robust, actionable insights. Whether you’re working in the iconic landscapes of the Lake District National Park, the historic gardens of the Royal Parks in London, or community open spaces across the country, our research is tailored to deliver clarity on visitor behaviours, stakeholder perceptions, and strategic priorities.
National Parks
Our research helps national parks understand visitor behaviour, improve conservation engagement, and enhance accessibility—delivering evidence-based insights to balance tourism, sustainability, and community value.
Public Houses & Gardens
We provide insights into visitor satisfaction, space usage, and community needs, helping local authorities and trusts manage parks and gardens that promote wellbeing, biodiversity, and inclusive recreation.
Events and Activities
Our research supports organisers in understanding audiences, optimising visitor experience, and measuring impact—ensuring outdoor events and festivals are vibrant, sustainable, and deliver long-term community and economic benefits.
Places That Matter
At Vision One, we know open spaces, parks and heritage sites aren’t just scenic backdrops — they’re living, breathing community assets. They support wellbeing, strengthen social connections, and provide vital access to nature at a time when it’s needed most.
Protecting and enhancing these spaces requires more than operational planning. It requires real understanding of the people who use them — and those who don’t. That’s where we come in.
Understanding the Experience, Not Just the Footfall
We go beyond counting visitors. Vision One combines robust quantitative surveys — measuring usage patterns, satisfaction and motivations — with in-depth qualitative engagement such as focus groups, stakeholder workshops and visitor diaries.
This layered approach helps you see not only what is happening in your space, but why, where expectations are rising, and where experiences fall short. And where untapped opportunity exists.
Insight That Supports Better Stewardship
Whether you’re launching a new visitor experience, redesigning interpretation, increasing off-season footfall or strengthening a funding case, our research supports:
- National park authorities and heritage trusts
- Urban green-space networks and community parks
- Events and experience teams using parks as venues
- Funders and local authorities shaping long-term frameworks.
