Phillimore Recreation Ground awarded the coveted Green Flag Award as it is officially recognised as one of the country’s best parks
Phillimore Recreation Ground in Radlett raises prestigious Green Flag Award after achieving international quality mark for parks and green spaces
Today, Aldenham Parish Council is celebrating after receiving a Green Flag Award for Phillimore Recreation Ground.
The site is one of 2,250 in the UK to achieve the award, which is the international quality mark for parks and green spaces.
The news that Phillimore Recreation Ground has met the standards required for the accreditation is testament to the hard work and dedication of the team that care for the green space so that visitors and residents alike can enjoy it.
Green Flag Award Scheme Manager, Paul Todd MBE, said: “Congratulations to everyone involved in Phillimore Recreation Ground who have worked tirelessly to ensure that it achieves the high standards required for the Green Flag Award.
“Quality parks and green spaces like Phillimore Recreation Ground make the country a heathier place to live and work in, and a stronger place in which to invest.
“Crucially, Phillimore Recreation Ground is a vital green space for communities in Hertfordshire to enjoy nature, and during the ongoing cost of living crisis it is a free and safe space for families to socialise. It also provides important opportunities for local people and visitors to reap the physical and mental health benefits of green space.”
The Green Flag Award scheme, managed by environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy under licence from the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government, recognises and rewards well-managed parks and green spaces, setting the benchmark standard for the management of green spaces across the United Kingdom and around the world.
