Five Luton parks retain prestigious Green Flag status

The Green Flag Award scheme, which celebrates its 30th year in 2026, is managed by environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy and sets the benchmark for excellence in green space management across the UK and internationally.

Councillor Tahmina Saleem, Leader of Luton Council, said: "Retaining Green Flag status for all five parks is a fantastic achievement and something everyone in Luton can be proud of. Our parks and green spaces are valued by residents all year round, providing places to relax, exercise, play and spend time with family and friends. 

“This achievement also reflects the council's 'Getting It Done' priorities, with millions of pounds being invested to make Luton cleaner and safer, including improvements to parks, play areas and public spaces, so residents can continue to enjoy high-quality green spaces for years to come."

Councillor Javeria Hussain, Portfolio Holder for Parks and Open Spaces, said: "I'm delighted that our parks and green spaces have once again achieved five Green Flag Awards. I'd like to thank our parks teams and volunteers for the care, dedication and pride they show every day in maintaining these much-loved spaces for our communities. Congratulations and thank you to everyone involved."
