Have you heard the news? Our town’s done it again! Six of Luton’s parks have held onto their Green Flag Awards for another year.

That’s right – Brantwood, Peoples, Leagrave, Memorial, Stockwood, and Wardown Parks are still flying those green flags high.

For those who don’t know, the Green Flag Award is a big deal. It’s like getting a gold star for your park, and signifies an international mark of quality.

It’s not just about having a nice bit of grass – these awards mean our parks are hitting the mark on everything from cleanliness to community involvement.

It’s so easy to take our parks for granted, but this news is a reminder of how lucky we are.

Whether you’re into your morning Park Run around Wardown Lake, picnics at Stockwood, or just sitting on a bench in People’s Park watching the world go by, we’ve got some real gems right here in Luton.

So next time you’re wondering what to do on a sunny afternoon, why not check out one of our award-winning parks? They’re free, they’re beautiful, and they’re ours. Let’s make the most of them!
