The Green Flag Award is the benchmark national standard for parks and green spaces in England and Wales. The aim of the awards are to:
- encourage the provision of good quality public parks and green spaces that are managed in environmentally sustainable ways
- helps to create public recognition of those spaces and in doing so aim to rebuild people’s confidence in them
How the flags are awarded
Sites are awarded a flag based on a field assessment and review of their management plan. There are eight areas in which a site is judged, which together make for a comprehensive definition of what a good green space might be.
These areas are:
- How to create a sense that people are positively welcomed into a green space
- How best to ensure that the site is a safe and healthy environment
- What people can expect to find in the way of standards of cleanliness, facilities and maintenance
- How a green space can be managed in environmentally sensitive ways
- The value of conservation and care of historic heritage
- Ways of encouraging community involvement
- Methods of promoting or marketing a site
- How to reflect all the above in a coherent and accessible management plan, statement or strategy
There is more information about how a site is judged on the Green Flag Award website.
