Today we’re celebrating our beautiful Park being awarded a Green Flag Award for the 18th straight year!

The Green Flag Award – which is managed by environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy under licence from the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities – recognises well-managed parks, setting the benchmark standard for the management of green spaces across the United Kingdom and around the world.

A whopping three million of you visit the Park each year, and our team work every day to care for and keep our 196 acres open for everyone to enjoy. Alongside this painstaking work, we’ve also carried out a range of improvement projects over the past 12 months – from beginning to establish a Wetlands in the south east corner of the Park and hedge-laying in the Grove, to installing new noticeboards at our entrances and repairing our Boating Lake wall.

Much of this work (and plenty more!) has been complete with the help of our gardening volunteers, and of course, the brilliant Friends of Alexandra Park.

Thank you to everyone who continues to visit, donate, volunteer or support our charity’s work to look after and improve the Park.
