It offers the possibility to showcase these stories and inform park decision-making. Strategically placed containers, e.g. small boxes, are used for stories to be placed into. These containers could have different designs which represent the park they are in or the question associated with them. They can also double up as a tool for feedback, for example from park users, allowing charities and local authorities to get a feel for aspects of parks that play a vital role in visitor experiences.<\/p><p>Ideas for using this approach could include posing\u00a0<span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">questions to park volunteers, citizens and\/or visitors asking them the share\u00a0<\/span>about what parks mean to them, special moments, past experiences, favourite walks or events, desires for the future, as well as the feelings and emotions which their time in the park evokes.<\/p><p><strong>Role in decision-making:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p>This tool could help with park decision-making, and is particularly useful for getting a sense of valued areas or aspects of a park. It can\u00a0<span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">also be helpful for connecting park providers with local communities and building trust.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">Asking questions coupled with showcasing answers for others to see adds a personal touch helping make those who participate feel like their voices are being heard.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: normal;\">\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section
