In awards announced this week by Recreational Aotearoa, Queen Elizabeth Park has also retained its Green Flag status, for the third year running.
The Green Flag Award is the international mark of a quality park or green space, judged by green space-expert volunteers, across 27 criteria. These include horticultural standards, cleanliness, sustainability, community involvement, accessibility and providing a warm welcome.
In total this year, 24 parks in New Zealand have made the grade to be awarded a Green Flag.
Masterton Mayor Lyn Patterson said the awards reflected the work put into both green spaces.
"I’m thrilled that the effort put in by the Henley Trust volunteers, with the council, has been recognised, and it is no surprise that Queen Elizabeth Park continues to wow judges.
Henley Lake has become one of only three parks in New Zealand to receive an international Green Flag community award.

This bed had a Rimu head board, is in perfect condition and has had almost no use. No it is surplus to requirements and needs to go. We can also throw in some bedding as well. $500 and that is much cheaper than its real value.

With so much going on this time of year it’s easy to get caught up in the festivities and forget about others, especially those having a difficult time.
Whether it’s an elderly neighbour who lives alone to a family on your street working hard to make ends meet, reach out to someone who could use a little extra joy in their life and remind them what the holiday spirit is all about!
Other ideas include fundraising for a local charity, doing a food or toy drive, organising a ‘Secret Santa’ gift exchange on your street, giving a present to a neighbour who helped to make your 2020 better, or even host a community Christmas lunch.
Let us know how you’re giving back in your community in December by emailing: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz
