They are used by visitors and by York residents including those who live and/or work in the city centre, but currently opening times are limited to 9am - 6pm even in summertime. City centre residents in particular (but also visitors staying in the centre and others) would like to benefit from access to this key area of local green space before the start of working hours, on the way to work and school and during summer evenings. The evidence is clear and accepted that access to nature and green spaces supports better health and well being including mental health. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/extend-the-opening-hours-for-museum-gardens
