The 20 amazing parks in Richmond awarded Green Flag status
By The Editor 25th Oct 2020
Judges were impressed when they made a recent visit to Richmond's green spaces.
The Green Flag Award Scheme began in 1996 as a way of recognising the importance of parks and green spaces and encouraging high environmental standards.
The award measures a whole range of aspects associated with the management of parks including facilities, maintenance and community engagement.
Cllr Julia Neden-Watts is chair of Richmond Council's Environment, Sustainability, Culture and Sport Committee.
She said: "Over the past six months our parks and open spaces have been more important than ever.
"Our parks team, contractors and Friends groups have worked relentlessly to ensure that despite a huge rise in people using our green spaces, they have been welcoming to all."
After an extensive judging regime, Richmond was this month re-awarded all 19 of its Green Flags and gained a new flag for Heathfield Rec, bringing the new total to 20.

- Cambridge Gardens
