We are so proud to say that we have once again won the Green Flag Award for Boultham Park! Thank you to all the staff and community members that helped make this happen.
“I would like to thank all those who have contributed to this significant achievement. It gives recognition that our parks are extremely well managed, environmentally friendly as well as being safe and accessible”.
Cllr. Bob Bushell
Earth Hour is back! Join us for this magical drop in lantern event on the 23rd March between 6.30 and 8.30pm at Boultham Lake.
We are so proud to be able to say we have once again received the Green Flag award! We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has put in the time and hard work to achieve this award.
The European Regional Development Fund has generously committed almost £200,000 to the project, helping to deliver works with a biodiversity focus, including tree works, planting, water quality and lake edge / island edge improvements. We are very thankful for their help in delivering our project.
A group of wonderful volunteers spent three days clearing the Memorial Garden opposite St Helens Church over the past couple of weeks. The initiative came from the County Council’s volunteer scheme headed by Lucy Russon, County Councillor Kev Clarke encouraged BPAG to apply for their support in clearing the garden and as can be seen in the pictures we were successful.
Al Brooks with the City Council’s volunteer group helped coordinate the work. It’s great when like minded people and organisations work together for the greater good of the community.
Many thanks to everyone involved.
Now the hard work starts as we need the support of local residents to keep it cleared.

This March we are inviting you to our first ever Earth Hour event to raise awareness of climate change. The evening will showcase a display of lanterns created by local schools and community groups to mark Earth Hour 2023, a worldwide movement organized by the World Wildlife Fund involving switching off non-essential electric lights for one hour as a commitment to the planet.
At 7pm on the evening of the event, the Boultham Park beacon will be lit and visitors will be invited to make a ‘promise for the planet’ – a small lifestyle change to reduce impact on the environment.
If you’re planet passionate, switch off your lights, grab your torch, and come down for this magical experience that is unique to Boultham Park Lake.
