Recognition for Hanley and Burslem parks in international award scheme

Hanley-Park-Green-Flag-2022-2023

Hanley Park has once again been awarded the prestigious Green Flag.

The 125-year-old venue, which has undergone a multi-million-pound restoration over the last few years, has been recognised nationally as a quality green public space by the charity Keep Britain Tidy.

The 60-acre park, which opened in 1897, has had its bandstand restored, the main pavilion reinstated as a café and its boathouse brought back to life along with a whole raft of other improvements which has led to a surge in visitors. Stoke-on-Trent City Council, which owns and maintains the park, successfully bid for £4.5 million from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and The National Lottery Community Fund in 2015 to restore the park’s historic features and attract more park users of all ages.

Burslem Park has also retained its Green flag status following inspections of the restored Victorian terrace garden and ornamental fountains.

Councillor Carl Edwards, cabinet member for environment and housing at the city council, said: “We’re absolutely delighted to once again have received a Green Flag for Hanley Park and Burslem Park. Both parks have seen an incredible transformation over the last few years and these awards feel like a very fitting culmination to all of the hard work that has taken place to get them looking how they do today. They are absolutely stunning.

“We know how important it is to have quality outdoor spaces that everyone can access and enjoy. And it’s great to see the parks busy and full of people enjoying the fantastic facilities on offer. The response from the public to our restoration projects has been very positive and I’d like to say thank you to everyone who has worked hard to keep our parks looking so good.”
