Wilton Lodge Park in Hawick has once again been recognised as one of the country’s top green spaces with a Green Flag Award for 2025.
The awards celebrate exceptional examples of parks and green spaces and supports the opportunities that they provide to enable exercise, improve mental wellbeing and provide safe areas for play.
Run by environmental charity Keep Scotland Beautiful, it acts as a benchmark for recreational outdoor space.
It is the seventh consecutive year that the park has been recognised with a Green Flag award, demonstrating its consistently high standards of maintenance and cleanliness.
In total 88 green spaces across Scotland were awarded a Green Flag for 2025.
Councillor John Greenwell, Executive Member for Roads & Public Space Development, said: “This is the seventh consecutive year that Wilton Lodge Park has been recognised with the prestigious Green Flag Award, reserved for the very best examples of parks and green spaces across the country. It is a wonderful achievement that demonstrates the extremely high levels of care and cleanliness that Council staff and the volunteers work tirelessly to maintain.”
