Rushcliffe Park’s 20th Green Flag | Nottingham News

Rushcliffe Country Park just earned its twentieth straight Green Flag Award — a rare honor that celebrates its status as one of Britain’s finest green spaces, especially meaningful as the award program turns 30. Packed with woodlands, meadows, and a reed-filled lake, it’s a wildlife hotspot where you might spot badgers, foxes, or deer. Beyond nature, it offers eight kilometers of trails, a dog agility course, and the popular parkrun. Managed by Rushcliffe Borough Council with support from rangers, grounds staff, and the dedicated Friends group, the park has seen major upgrades — including a new play area, café, and EV chargers. With over 300,000 visitors annually, it’s a beloved community gem, and the Friends are calling for new volunteers to join their conservation efforts, including a wildlife day on August 26th. This milestone proves what happens when local government, staff, and volunteers work together to keep a park at the top of its game.
