Mooragh Park has again been awarded a Green Flag award by UK-based environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy.

Ramsey Town Commisioners chairman Andy Cowie said: ’We are delighted that the town has been awarded another Green Flag for Mooragh Park.

’The Green Flag award is an international award and takes into account environmental and operational management and community integration.

’It is testament to the hard work of the gardening team, who, despite several weeks of lockdown and a huge backlog of vegetation and planting to manage around the town, have kept the park in pristine condition.

’As well as the regular users of the park, we have also hosted the Gran Fondo cycling weekend and the Mooragh family funday, both of which were extremely well-attended and very popular.

’While it was disappointing to be unable to complete the refurbishment of the water play feature this summer, the availability of the boating and numerous sports facilities within the park area have been warmly received and provided excellent leisure facilities on our doorstep.

’We are also delighted to see the success of Conrod’s at the Boathouse which has complemented the existing Costa Coffee within the park.’

The Green Flag award is judged by a panel of experts and is the ’benchmark national standard’ for parks and green spaces across the British Isles as well as in Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
