Thanks to the work of volunteers, Friends of Parks groups, council officers and partners, four parks – Happy Valley, Coulsdon Memorial Ground, Wandle Park and Wettern Tree Garden – have all been recognised and rewarded as some of the best parks and green spaces in the UK. Under Labour, ZERO parks got this award.
The awards, which come from charity Keep Britain Tidy, follows significant investment in Croydon’s parks and green spaces.
Improvements have seen better schedules for grass cutting, upgraded playgrounds, and new paths, making them more accessible for all residents.
