GREEN FLAGS GALORE: There is cause for celebration in the local vicinity, with Greasbrough Park being given the Green Flag Award for the third consecutive year! There was a presentation recently at Doncaster Racecourse, with representatives from Friends of Greasbrough Park and Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council in attendance. Friends Of Greasbrough Park would like to take this opportunity to thank all who volunteer their time and efforts in maintaining the park, as well as those who visit it and treat the space with respect, allowing it to be enjoyed by all. If you would like to volunteer your help with the parks’ upkeep, you can contact Maureen via email: [email protected]
