FLAGS FLY HIGH IN SHEFFIELD’S AWARD WINNING PARKS Sheffield’s wonderful parks and green spaces have once again been recognised by environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy, with 13 Green Flags awarded to parks across the city. The winning parks, green spaces and woodlands have been recognised for their environmental character, maintenance and visitor experience. Each of the flags are testament to the hard work of staff, friends’ groups and volunteers, who work together

to maintain the high standards expected by the Green Flag Award. Sheffield’s award winning parks are the Botanical Gardens, Cholera Grounds and Clay Wood, Devonshire Green, Ecclesall Woods, Firth Park, Meersbrook Park, Millhouses Park, Norfolk Heritage Park, Peace Gardens, Weston Park, Wheata Woods, Winter Gardens and Tinsley Green. Councillor Mary Lea, Cabinet Member for Culture, Parks and

Leisure at Sheffield City Council, said: “I believe we have some of the best parks, green spaces and woodlands in the country so I’m delighted that they’ve been recognised once again. These awards are testament to the hard work, passion and dedication of the many staff, friends’ groups and volunteers who work tirelessly to uphold the high standards we have come to expect. “Our parks play an essential role within our communities, not

only providing excellent outdoor leisure and play facilities but also contributing to the improved health and wellbeing of Sheffielders. Whether that’s through running, cycling, gardening, being part of a Friends Group, climbing on playgrounds or a simple stroll, these outdoor spaces offer so many ways to be physically active and mentally stimulated. “It’s no secret that we are managing our parks through extremely

challenging times, so it’s fantastic to see them continuing to flourish and get the recognition they deserve.” In addition to the main awards, Green Flag Community Awards were also awarded for the second year running to Devon Gardens (Friends of Devon Gardens), Grenoside Green (Friends of Grenoside Green), Meersbrook Community Walled Garden (Meersbrook Park Users Trust), and Firth Park Community Allotment, Heeley City Farm, Wortley Hall Walled Garden and Norfolk Park Community Garden (Heeley City Farm).
