Hammersmith & Fulham's list of award-winning parks is growing!
A Green Flag was raised in Eelbrook Common in Fulham on Saturday (27 September), to celebrate the park receiving the prestigious accolade.
Judges from independent charity Keep Britain Tidy assess open spaces against their strict criteria – checking the management of the sites, their biodiversity, heritage and safety.
Investing in our parks
Over the last four years, H&F Council has invested more than £3.5million across the borough's 55 parks and open green spaces.
And between 2025 and 2027, H&F will be investing a further £1.1million. This funding will focus on improving all aspects of our parks, including new planting and updated footpaths, lighting, bins and signage.
We are also investing £8.3million into the borough's 95 playgrounds across the next three years.
It's part of our work to make H&F the best borough to live, work and socialise.
Symbol of excellence
On Saturday, H&F Mayor Sharon Holder and Cllr Florian Chevoppe-Verdier, H&F Cabinet Member for Public Realm, were joined by Friends of Eelbrook Common, local residents and members of Idverde grounds maintenance team for a flag-raising ceremony.
Cllr Holder said:
This award is not just a symbol of excellence in park management; it's a recognition of the care, dedication, and passion that goes into making our green spaces welcoming, safe, and vibrant for everyone."
"The Green Flag Award sets the benchmark for well-managed parks and green spaces across the UK and beyond., Aand I'm proud to say that Hammersmith & Fulham continues to meet — and exceed — that standard."
