A South Cumbrian park has been named as one of the best in the UK.
Ulverston’s Ford Park has been handed a Green Flag Award for the eighth year running from Keep Britain Tidy.
Jill Salmon, CEO of charity Ford Park Community Group, which manages the park, said: “We are delighted to have awarded Green Flag status again. This award recognises all the hard work and commitment of our staff and volunteers. They are here come rain or shine, ensuring Ford Park is safe and attractive for the community and maintained to an award-winning standard.”
Keep Britain Tidy’s accreditation manager Paul Todd said: “I would like to congratulate everyone involved in making Ford Park worthy of a Green Flag Award.
“Ford Park is a vital green space for the community in Ulverston and the surrounding area. This award is testament to all the hard work of staff and volunteers, who do so much to ensure that it maintains the high standards demanded by the Green Flag Award.”
The park is wholly funded through grants, fundraising and donations.
