NATIONAL AWARD FOR DONCASTER PARKS Four of Doncaster’s parks have been recognised as amongst the best in the country, having been given Green Flag awards.
The prestigious award, which is given annually to the best parks and green spaces in the UK, is globally renowned as a hallmark of quality
and helps to attract visitors from across the country. In addition to an award for Cusworth Hall and park, which already had Green Flag
status, new awards for Bentley, Quarry and Sandall Parks were announced by Keep Britain Tidy on 18 July. The awards recognise the fantastic progress being made in creating attractive and enjoyable open spaces for Doncaster’s residents and visitors. A partnership between council staff, dedicated groups of volunteers and ‘Friends-of’ groups, has seen these parks develop to such a high standard that they will now be listed as amongst the best parks in the country. The timing of the award couldn’t be better, as it comes half
way through ‘Love Parks Week’, where people across the country are celebrating the fantastic parks where they live. Doncaster Council has supported this event with a lot of online activity to promote parks on social media. Cabinet member for Communities, the Voluntary Sector and Environment, Cllr Chris McGuinness, said: “This is an absolutely fantastic achievement, and I want to thank all of the staff and hardworking volunteers that continue to put in so much time and effort to make our
local parks even more enjoyable. “I’m so pleased that this hard work has been recognised with national awards for these four wonderful open spaces, and I’m sure that Green Flag status will encourage even more people to
get out and enjoy these parks in the future.” Following the award wins, there will be small celebration events at Bentley, Quarry and Sandall parks on Friday 21 July, which will give council staff and volunteers a chance to
recognise their hard work and celebrate this achievement. For more information about parks in Doncaster, use #LoveParks on Facebook and Twitter, and visit www. doncaster.gov.uk
