The Mayor of Craigavon, Alderman Stephen Moutray and Chair of Leisure Services Committee Councillor Ronnie Harkness are urging Craigavon people to vote for Lurgan Park.

The People's Choice - Site of the Year Award, which closes at the end of August, is an annual online vote giving people the power to decide which Green Flag park from a list of more than 1,000 should receive this coveted title.

Lurgan Park was the first in Ireland to gain the prestigious Green Flag award in 2008 which is a national standard for parks and green spaces and is a real coup for this busy and breathtaking Craigavon Borough Council run Park.

"Competition for the public vote is fierce," said Alderman Moutray, "but all you have to do is visit www.greenflagaward.org.uk and click on "get involved". You will find a list of the current top ten sites and you can nominate your favourite park – Lurgan Park".
