Two parks in Bromsgrove have been recognised for hitting high standards after being awarded the internationally heralded Green Flag status.
Sanders Park and Lickey End Recreation Ground were successful in the 2026 round of the awards which are managed by environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy under contract from the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government.
It recognises and rewards well-managed parks and green spaces, setting the benchmark standard for the management of green spaces across the United Kingdom and around the world. Parks are one of Bromsgrove District Council’s priorities and is dedicated to providing green spaces where people and nature can flourish.
The Council’s Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing, Leisure and Culture, Cllr Shirley Webb said:
“Parks and green spaces play an important part in improving our residents’ health and well-being from exercising, getting some fresh air, meeting friends or just enjoying the nature – all for free.
“It’s a place where communities flourish and I am delighted that two of our parks have been recognised as among the best in the country and is testament to the hard work of our parks and place teams.”
The Council manages over 20 parks and play areas across the District.
