🌧️✨ Not even the rain could dampen this monumental morning! ✨

We were delighted to welcome the wonderful children from Red Roof Centre’s Nursery, who came to watch the raising of our newly‑installed Green Flag — a proud achievement for our beautiful community park! 🌿💚

And the excitement didn’t stop there… the children also became the very first people to sit on our brand‑new bench! 🪑✨

A huge thank you to our amazing park wardens for their dedication, and to the fantastic Greenspace Team at Wakefield Council for their ongoing support in making this happen. 🙌

We hope everyone enjoys the new bench and shares in the pride of our park’s Green Flag status — a true gem in the heart of our community. 🌳💚
