Green Flag Awards 2011

Seven of our parks, cemeteries and open spaces now hold a Green Flag award, the national excellence standard for parks management. They are:

• Ormeau Park
• Falls Park
• Roselawn Cemetery
• Barnett Demesne
• Botanic Gardens
• Musgrave Park
• Cave Hill Country Park

All sites were judged on their conservation and heritage, environmental sustainability, marketing, safety and community involvement, as well as their everyday management. The awards also recognise the contribution of local neighbourhoods, as well as the parks themselves.
