Great Sankey Parish Council is delighted to announce that Tim Parry Recreation Park has been awarded the prestigious Green Flag Award!

The Green Flag Award is the international quality mark for parks and green spaces, recognising sites that are welcoming, safe, well-maintained and managed to the highest environmental standards. It comes as the internationally recognised standard for parks and green spaces celebrates its 30th year.

Tim Parry Recreation Ground in Great Sankey is one of a record breaking 2,391 in the UK to achieve the award this year – a fantastic testament to the hard work, passion and dedication of the team who care for this green space, ensuring it is maintained to a high standard for visitors and residents to enjoy. We'd like to extend our sincere thanks to our staff, volunteers, partners and visitors who all play a part in making Tim Parry Recreation Park such a special place for our community.

Paul Todd MBE, Green Flag Award Manager at Keep Britain Tidy, said: “Parks are essential public spaces that support our wellbeing, our communities and our economy. Yet for millions of people, particularly in the most deprived areas, local parks simply don’t feel safe or welcoming.

“With public services under pressure, investing in parks is not a luxury, it’s a practical, preventative solution and one of the most visible ways to improve people’s quality of life.

“Great Sankey Parish Council has shown what can be achieved when parks are properly supported and managed. As we celebrate 30 years of the Green Flag Award, we want every community to have access to green spaces like this that are safe, welcoming and maintained to a high standard.

"Congratulations to everyone involved."

Whether you visit to enjoy the play areas, walk the trails, relax in nature or spend time with family and friends, this award reflects the quality of the park that we are proud to provide.

Thank you for your continued support, and here's to another year of keeping Tim Parry Recreation Park a place everyone can enjoy! 💚

Our Bee Posts now have tenants! 🌻🐝
The solitary wasp in the photo is a cuckoo wasp or sometimes called a jewel wasp. Harmless to people.
Cuckoo wasps are often found around bee posts because they are parasitoids of other solitary bees and wasps, laying their eggs in hosts' nests.
