This accolade confirms what many already know: Kent’s country parks are among the best-kept and most-loved in the country.
The award-winning parks were Lullingstone, Grove Ferry, Shorne Woods, Teston Bridge, Trosley, Manor Park, Pegwell Bay, and Brockhill. Judges highlighted their biodiversity management, skilled staff and the growing potential for new projects and partnerships.
These parks are not only beautiful spaces but vital community assets, offering places to relax, explore nature and enjoy outdoor activities year-round.
Each park will be proudly flying their green flag to show their commitment to quality, sustainability and community value.
“We know how important quality green spaces are for people and wildlife, and it’s wonderful to see their value recognised once again.”
David Wimble, KCC’s Cabinet Member for Environment, said: “I want to thank the incredible staff and volunteers who make our parks such special places for everyone. These awards reflect their hard work and passion.
‘We know how important quality green spaces are for people and wildlife, and it’s wonderful to see their value recognised once again.”
The Green Flag Award scheme is managed by environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy.
Keep Britain Tidy’s chief executive, Allison Ogden-Newton OBE, said: “Our quality parks and green spaces make the UK a heathier place in which to live and work, and a stronger place in which to invest.”
