Park Events MOTE PARK
Four Green Flags for Maidstone!
Four parks in the borough have now been awarded the prestigious Green Flag, with Cobtree Manor Park receiving the award for the first time this year! The award recognises the best parks in the country, with the highest standards and excellent facilities. Mote Park, Whatman Park and Clare Park all kept their flags.
This was an important year
for Cobtree, with the opening of the brand new play area and sculpture trail giving even more great reasons to visit the park.
All four parks were
automatically entered into the national Green Flag People’s Choice Award which looks for the nation’s favourite park. Mote Park came third last year, so we’re hoping that we’ll make it high in the rankings again! The winner will be announced in the middle of October.

One million pound
play areas investment Maidstone Borough Council is investing more than one million pounds to improve the most important play areas across Maidstone Borough.
Some of the least used and poorly equipped play
areas will be closing but most people will be within a 12 minute walk of the best areas and they will get even better.
The council is investing in its own play areas and giving grants to improve parish council ones as well.
Twenty four parks will get a makeover during the next 12 months.
