Councillor Natalie Byron-Teare says it shows parks are 'way above standard'
Douglas Council says Green Flag Status is 'something to be proud of' after it received 10 awards for a number of its areas across the capital.
Chair of the Regeneration and Community Committee Natalie Byron-Teare says the status is an acknowledgement that the parks are 'way above standard'.
The award was given to Hilary Park, the cemetery, Douglas Head, Summerhill Glen and Noble's Park amongst others.
Councillor Natalie Byron-Teare adds the status is a credit to the local authority's park services team.
