Green Flag Award for Ponty Park

July 23, 2008

Pontypridd’s Ynysangharad War Memorial Park has won the prestigious Green Flag Award for the fourth year running.

The award is the national standard for quality parks and green spaces, recognising excellence in the management and delivery of service within the Parks sector. Ynysangharad Park is one of only 19 sites across Wales to achieve the honour this year.

Winning the Green Flag Award is the culmination of another busy year for the park, which has hosted events such as the Teddy Bears Picnic and Parti Ponty, attended by thousands of children earlier this month. It also hosted some of the events during Ponty’s Big Weekend, the entertainment extravaganza from July 18-21, with singer Rhydian Roberts among the star performers.

From August 1-3, 2008, the park will be the setting for the Big Welsh Bite, a fabulous food and agriculture festival, featuring entertainment for all the family.
