One Minute Park

What One Minute Park actually is

The project aims to fill all 1,440 minutes of a day with one-minute videos of parks, each filmed and submitted by a visitor. What you get is a single unedited minute of a bench, a path or a lawn somewhere in the world, labelled with the park and the time of day it stands for.

Why it is worth your time

Every clip runs exactly one minute with no cut, so you watch a small green place at ordinary speed instead of the sped-up, music-backed version social video would hand you.

Common questions

Is One Minute Park free?

Yes. One Minute Park is free and does not ask you to register or hand over an email address before you can use it.

How long does One Minute Park take?

One quick round, then you can leave. We file it under "A minute" — sixty seconds in a park, filmed by whoever was there.

Does One Minute Park work on a phone?

Yes. One Minute Park works on a phone as well as it does on a laptop.

What kind of site is One Minute Park?

We list it under The Calm Corner — somewhere to put your shoulders down. Every clip runs exactly one minute with no cut, so you watch a small green place at ordinary speed instead of the sped-up, music-backed version social video would hand you.
