Camborne Recreation Ground Wins Prestigious Green Flag Award Again!

Camborne Recreation Ground has once again been honoured with the prestigious Green Flag Award, confirming its status as one of the finest parks in the country.

The award, which is an international quality mark for parks and green spaces, highlights the dedication and hard work of the Camborne Town Council Amenities Team in maintaining this cherished community asset.

A Testament to Hard Work and Dedication

The Green Flag Award is managed by the environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy under licence from the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government. It recognises and rewards well-managed parks and green spaces across the United Kingdom and around the world. This accolade is a testament to the relentless efforts of the staff and volunteers who ensure that Camborne Recreation Ground meets the highest standards year after year.

Paul Todd MBE, Green Flag Award Scheme Manager, commended the Camborne Town Council, saying, “I would like to congratulate everyone involved at Camborne Town Council on retaining their Green Flag Award for Camborne Recreation Ground. It is a vital green space for the community to socialise, enjoy nature, for children to play safely, and it provides important opportunities for park users to improve their physical and mental health.”

Importance of Green Spaces

Camborne Recreation Ground serves as a crucial green space for residents and visitors, offering a place for socialising, recreation, and enjoying the natural environment. The park’s continued recognition by the Green Flag Award scheme underscores its importance to the community and highlights the necessity of maintaining high standards in public green spaces.

Keep Britain Tidy’s efforts in promoting sustainable living and environmental stewardship through initiatives like the Green Flag Award help set the benchmark for green space management. Their campaigns and programmes, including the Great British Spring Clean and Love Parks Week, inspire communities to take pride in their local environments and contribute to a litter-free, sustainable future.
