Courtenay Park, Newton Abbot, receives award

Courtenay Park has today been named as Teignbridge’s newest Green Flag park, with previous winners Decoy Country Park and Teignmouth Den also receiving the prestigious national award for their fifth and third years respectively.  

Green Flag Awards are a nationally recognised symbol of quality, and with the school holidays underway they help signpost the very best local parks and resorts. 

All three areas stood out after impressing the judges with their excellent use of green space, well-maintained facilities and high standard of safety and security.  

Courtenay Park won the award having entered for the first time, having recently also enjoyed a £46k revamp of its popular children’s play area.
