Public chooses Parc Slip in awards to recognise UK’s best green spaces!

Park users across the UK have voted for WTSWW's Parc Slip Nature Reserve as one of their most impressive green spaces in the 2023 People’s Choice Awards.

Research shows that for parks to be able to contribute to improvements in health and wellbeing, they must be accessible, well-managed and maintained, and offer something for everyone within the community.

This year, Parc Slip was one of 2,216 UK parks and green spaces which met the standard of the Green Flag Award – the international quality standard managed in Wales by Keep Wales Tidy which recognises and rewards well-managed parks and green spaces.

Now communities have revealed this green space is among their top ten favourite Green Flag Awarded spaces in the 2023 People’s Choice Awards, with over 21,000 members of the public casting their vote.

Commenting on the results, Lucy Prisk, Green Flag Coordinator for Keep Wales Tidy said: “Our parks and green spaces are essential to people’s wellbeing, and we know these free to access places will continue to be vital to communities. “Parc Slip receiving this award is testament to the hard work of all staff and volunteers involved, and we’re thrilled to be able to celebrate this additional recognition which accompanies their Green Flag Award.”
