Cambuslang Park has won a prestigious Green Flag Award for an incredible eleventh year in a row.<\/p>\n

The international award by environmental charity Keep Scotland Beautiful acts as a benchmark for clean, safe and well-maintained parks and green spaces, and recognises the very best of the country\u2019s outdoor areas.<\/p>\n

Green Flag Awards support the opportunities that green spaces provide to enable exercise, improve mental wellbeing and provide safe spaces for play.<\/p>\n

Cambuslang Park features floral display areas, an ampitheatre area, and recreation areas. There is also a good network of pathways to enjoy a walk around the park,a large play area suited to children of all ages, three grass football pitches and a multi-use games area (MUGA).<\/p>\n

The popular park in Cambuslang spanning 27 acres was one of three green spaces in South Lanarkshire to once again be presented with a Green Flag Award.<\/p>\n
