The Royal Parks make up land that was originally used for the recreation, mostly hunting, by the royal family.[1] They are part of the hereditary possessions of The Crown, now managed by The Royal Parks,[2] a charity which manages eight royal parks and certain other areas of parkland in London. The Royal Parks charity was created as a company limited by guarantee in March 2017 and officially launched in July 2017. Its chief executive is Andrew Scattergood.
The charity took over the main responsibilities of management from the Royal Parks Agency – a former executive agency of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport – and from the Royal Parks Foundation, which was a separate charity.
