Green Flag Awards

The Green Flag Award is the national standards for parks and open spaces in England and Wales. The scheme was established in 1996 and is managed by The Civic Trust. Each green space is judged against an assessment criteria ranging from sustainability to health and safety. Winning a Green Flag Award is a sign of prestige and excellence.

In Tower Hamlets there are currently six parks and open spaces that have received this prestigious award. These are:

• Island Gardens
• King Edward Memorial Park
• Mile End Park
• Millwall Park
• Trinity Square Gardens
• Weavers Fields

Each year the council's parks and open spaces service aims to increase the number of Green Flag Awards in the borough.
