The London Legacy Development Corporation said: "Many people in London are not lucky enough to have a garden, many families are living in very cramped conditions.
"Our public spaces are becoming more and more important as the restrictions go on.
"As some parks have had to take the difficult decision to close down it is essential, that we all work together in making sure we can keep as much open as possible.
"Please don’t ignore the very clear instructions – go out once a day, stay as local as possible, don’t gather in groups, keep your two metre distance, take litter home, and keep dogs under control and on a lead in areas where you are told to do so.
"It’s clearly not ok to have picnics, sunbathe, cycle where it is not allowed or confront those putting themselves at risk to keep these spaces open.
" Don’t let this weekend’s fantastic weather do more harm than good."
