Parks win national award for second year running

Date:  28 July 2010

Rickmansworth Aquadrome and Chorleywood House Estate have again been ranked as one of the best UK parks for the second year running.

For the second year in a row, both Rickmansworth Aquadrome and Chorleywood House Estate have been awarded Green Flags in recognition of their excellent use of green space, well-maintained facilities and high standard of safety and security. Judging took place during May and both parks received high praise.



Kay FitzGerald, Biodiversity Projects Officer, said;

‘It is a real achievement for Three Rivers District Council, and all of those involved in the Aquadrome and Chorleywood House Estate, to receive two of the 1200 Green Flags awarded in the UK this year.‘

Only green spaces that are free to enter and open to the public are eligible to win an award through the scheme, which is run by environmental charities Keep Britain Tidy, BTCV and GreenSpace.
