Pikku-Vesijärvenpuisto, which has won the Green Flag Award for many years, impressed the judges with its uniqueness and versatility. The park’s strengths include its diverse tree population, proximity to water, and interesting landscapes.
According to the judges, the park is spacious, unique, and very pleasant, located close to the city center. The large trees and natural and built-up areas provide a good setting for a variety of recreational activities or simply relaxing by the water.
– It’s great that our Pikku-Vesijärvi Park has once again won the Green Flag Award. The park is an important recreational area for the people of Lahti. Thanks for the good maintenance of the park go to the maintenance workers, says maintenance horticulturist Maija Näveri.
The Green Flag Award is an award system that recognizes the quality of green space maintenance and management. It is administered internationally by the British environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy and in Finland by the Finnish Green Environment Association. The number of green areas that have won the award continued to grow from the previous year and is now the highest in the history of the Green Flag Award in Finland.
