The Green Flag Award Management Plans document highlights the importance of structured, visionary management in the stewardship of parks and green spaces. Rather than being seen as bureaucratic paperwork, management plans are positioned as strategic tools that help guide the evolution of a site. By addressing four guiding questions—Where are we now? Where do we want to go? How will we get there? How will we know when we’ve arrived?—the guide provides a clear yet adaptable framework that supports accountability, secures funding, and ensures parks remain relevant to the communities they serve.
Drawing on practical experience, the guide demonstrates how effective management plans connect long-term vision with day-to-day operations. These plans provide clarity for stakeholders, foster confidence in decision-making, and promote sustainability in park management. They serve as a roadmap that balances ambition with realistic goals, ensuring that parks continue to deliver value, beauty, and functionality for present and future generations.
