Rushcliffe Country Park is continuing to fly the flag as one of the UK’s very best green spaces.
Ruddington’s top visitor destination has been recognised by the Green Flag Award Scheme as one of the very best in the world – for the eleventh year in a row.
The park is among a record-breaking 1,797 UK parks and green spaces to receive a prestigious Green Flag Award in 2017 – the mark of a quality park or green space.
This international award, now into its third decade, is a sign to the public that the space boasts the highest possible environmental standards, is beautifully maintained and has excellent visitor facilities.
Set in the beautiful countryside at the southern edge of our village, Rushcliffe Country Park has a network of over 8 kilometres of footpaths, grassland, landscaped areas and an extensive play area. The park is a favourite among walkers, joggers, cyclists, wildlife spotters and dog walkers from both the village and much further afield.
Rushcliffe Country Park manager Keith Laing said: “We are absolutely delighted to receive a Green Flag Award for the eleventh year in a row.
“We know how much quality green spaces matter to residents and visitors, and this award celebrates the dedication that goes into maintaining Rushcliffe Country Park to such a high standard.”
International Green Flag Award scheme manager Paul Todd said: “We are delighted to be celebrating another record-breaking year for the Green Flag Award scheme.
“Each flag is a celebration of the thousands of staff and volunteers who work tirelessly to maintain the high standards demanded by the Green Flag Award. The success of the scheme, especially in these challenging times, demonstrates just how much parks matter to people.”
Rushcliffe Country Park is served directly by Nottingham City Transport’s 10C & 10X services. Why not make it part of a #RuddyGoodDayOut?
