With the\u00a0nomination phase coming to a close on the 4th\u00a0of November with a \u00a0massive 122 nominations, ten of them are parks in Wales – with nominations spanning the entire country, from Flintshire to Cardiff. And six of them are located in Cardiff, namely – Bute Park,\u00a0Creigiau Recreation Ground,\u00a0Grangemoor Park,\u00a0Morgan Jones Park, Pontcanna Fields\u00a0and\u00a0Roath Park.<\/p>\n

“The Fields in Trust awards have been running for four years and recognise the hard work that takes place on sites protected with ourselves across the country.” stated Helen Griffiths, the Fields in Trust Chief Executive. \u00a0The organization, which celebrates its 90th\u00a0year, however, wanted to do something a bit different and open out the ceremony to also include those sites not yet protected with themselves. \u00a0\u201cThe ‘UK\u2019s Best Park, as voted by YOU!’\u00a0Award is unique in that it allows any member of the public to nominate their favourite local green space to be the UK\u2019s best. This award is by the public and for the public, and through it, we want to find which local green space is the one most special to the public,\u201d said Mrs. Griffiths, explaining the motive behind the inclusion of this new award category.<\/p>\n

“The public reception has been excellent and since the voting began, thousands of votes have already been made from all over the UK.” \u00a0according to the Fileds In Trust CEO. \u00a0The winner of the UK\u2019s Best Park will be announced at the Awards Ceremony to be held at the Lord\u2019s Cricket Ground on 2nd December. \u00a0And owing to the wild success of the award this year, “We\u00a0are looking forward to continuing to help find the UK\u2019s favorite local green space for years to come.” added Mrs. Griffiths.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
