Councillor Lindsay Millar, Mayor of Mid and East Antrim, said: “The Green Flag Award is a sign of a well-managed, clean and safe outdoor space.
“Many people increasingly rely on their local park as a place to relax and have fun or spend time with friends and family so quality green space has never been more important.
“Our eight Green Flags flying this year demonstrate the commitment of the hundreds of people, both staff and volunteers, who work tirelessly to maintain the high standards required by the Green Flag Award.”
