![]() Green Flag for Sean Walsh Memorial ParkOne of the objectives
of the Tallaght Community Council is to achieve Green Flag
status for Sean Walsh Memorial Park. This would be a first for
the South Dublin County Council parks.
The Green Flag Award scheme is the benchmark standard for parks and green spaces. It aims to recognise and reward the best green spaces and encourage high environmental standards. A site flying a Green Flag is a high quality green space. The Green Flag is a sign that the area you are visiting is managed to high standards, which have been independently verified. Awards are given on an annual basis and winners must apply each year to renew their Green Flag status. For Sean Walsh Memorial Park to qualify as a Green Flag park The folowing critera must be met : 1. A
welcoming place Unfortunately some parts of this wonderful
park is plagued by large amounts of rubbish and litter and this will
ensure that any appication for Green Flag status will certainly fail. Our group of
hard-working Litter Mugs meet once per month to conduct an extensive
clean up of the walking areas, green spaces, and the water ways. We
are always looking for new volunteers to give a helping hand, which
will help us to meet criteria 6 above.
