SIX parks have been recognised as being among the best in the country with Green Flag Awards.
Horn Park in Eltham and Eltham Park were awarded for the first time.
A Green Flag Award recognises well-managed, high-quality green spaces.
Any green space is eligible to win the award providing visitors can enter free of charge.
Other parks to receive an award were Well Hall Pleasaunce in Eltham, Sutcliffe Park in Kidbrooke and East Greenwich Pleasaunce.
Blackheath, which is jointly managed by Lewisham and Greenwich Council, was also awarded.
The achievement ensures Greenwich is half-way towards its target of securing the Green Flag award for 12 of its parks by 2012.
