Seven Leeds parks receive Green Flag Awards

Seven Leeds parks managed by Leeds City Council have received Green Flag Awards in the latest annual recognition of well-managed parks and green spaces. The list includes parks and heritage sites across the city, from Golden Acre to Temple Newsam.

The recognised sites are Golden Acre Park, Kirkstall Abbey, Middleton Park, Otley Chevin Forest Park, Pudsey Park, Roundhay Park and Temple Newsam Estate. Keep Britain Tidy manages the Green Flag Award scheme under licence from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. The scheme recognises parks and green spaces that meet its management standard. The council says the award programme is marking its 30th year, and that some Leeds sites have received recognition for more than 15 years. The latest announcement says 2,391 parks in the UK achieved the award this year. Leeds City Council’s statement also credits staff and volunteers who care for the sites.
