Local park is amongst the best in the country

Rickmansworth Aquadrome is among the very best parks in the UK as it retains its Green Flag award. The park is among a record-breaking 1,686 parks and green spaces that received a prestigious Green Flag Award – the mark of a quality park or green space. A Green Flag flying overhead is a sign to the public that the space boasts the highest possible standards, is beautifully maintained and has excellent facilities. The celebration awards were this year hosted by Three Rivers District Council at Watersmeet, Rickmansworth, and the event was celebrating its 20th year. Three Rivers’ cabinet member for leisure community and wellbeing, Cllr Chris Lloyd, said: “We are absolutely delighted to receive three Green Flag Awards for 2016. This award recognises and highlights that people in Three Rivers are benefitting from green space of the very highest quality.” Read more in the September edition of My Croxley News, which will be distributed on September 9.
