RBC celebrates Green Flag Award success at four parks

Rushcliffe Borough Council (RBC) is proud to announce that four of its parks and green spaces have been awarded the prestigious Green Flag Award, recognising their high environmental standards, excellent visitor facilities and outstanding management.

Bridgford Park in West Bridgford has received the accolade for the first time, while Rushcliffe Country Park in Ruddington celebrates its 20th Green Flag Award. Sharphill Wood in Edwalton has secured the award for the fourth consecutive year, and The Hook Nature Reserve in Lady Bay has received its third award.

The four parks are among 2,391 parks and green spaces across the UK to achieve the prestigious accreditation, which is regarded as the international benchmark for the quality management of recreational outdoor spaces. The award comes as the Green Flag Award scheme celebrates its 30th anniversary.

All four parks are owned and managed by RBC, with support from the local Friends volunteer groups. Read more about the Green Flag awards in the news section.
