Tymon Park awarded prestigious Green Flag for second year in a row

Tymon Park is one of five South Dublin County Council parks to achieve this award.

Mayor Cllr Mayor Cllr Ed O’Brien raised the flag  on Wednesday the 7th October 2020 and said:

“Today I am going to raise the Green Flag, which is a prestigious award won by Tymon Park for the second time. The Green Flag Award is an international benchmark that recognises and rewards high-quality parks and green spaces. Established in more than 50 countries, the award scheme is managed in Ireland by An Taisce. It rates the management of parks by local authorities across criteria including safety, cleanliness, conservation, sustainability, and community involvement. Tymon Park is one of 84 public parks from across the country to achieve a Green Flag award in 2020.

This award is a huge honour for everyone in SDCC and park users.

Tymon Park plays an integral part in achieving South Dublin County Council’s aim of creating an attractive place to live, work and do business. Town parks improve our physical and psychological health, strengthen our communities, and make our towns and neighbourhoods better places to live and work.

I believe the green flag demonstrates how much care and effort the Park’s staff put into maintaining the park and how much the local community use and appreciate the park.

A special mention must go out to the friends of Tymon who play an active role in the Park providing community participation, litter picks, and getting involved in engagement on new initiatives and park maintenance– all of this feeds into the green flag application and management programme for the park”.
