The accolade recognises the efforts of local volunteers and community groups in maintaining Breadalbane Park to a standard that allows it to be enjoyed by all.
It was one of five parks in Stirling this year to be honoured with Green Flag Status by Environmental Charity, Keep Scotland Beautiful.
The Green Flag awards celebrate clean, quality and safe outdoor space, and the importance of ensuring everyone has access to it.
Causewayhead Park, Beechwood Park, Ladywell Park and Pullar Memorial Park were the other sites to be recognised.
Paul Godzik of Killin and Ardeonaig Community Trust (KAT) said: “The community are delighted that the park has achieved Green Flag status, and it’s a real recognition of the hard work that has gone into to improving the park over a number of years.
“Breadalbane Park plays a key role within the local community, hosting events like the Agricultural Show and the Highland Games. The focus now is on retaining the flag next year and especially fundraising for improvements to the children’s play area.”
Councillor Jim Thomson, Convener of the Environment and Housing Committee, said: “This is a wonderful achievement for the community who deserve enormous credit for their dedicated efforts in becoming only the second park in the country this year to achieve this accolade.
“High quality and well managed green space like Breadalbane Park help improve the health and well-being of our communities and provide a number of other economic, social and environmental benefits.
“As a Council, we were delighted to support the community in their application for the Community Green Flag and I was honoured to be there to when the flag was unfurled. A huge well done to all.”
Councillor Danny Gibson, Vice Convener of the Environment and Housing Committee, said: “Throughout the Stirling Council area we want to provide safe, welcoming and fun green spaces for communities and visitors to the area, and it’s brilliant to see the success of so many of our parks.
“This award is wonderful news and well-deserved recognition for people in Killin, and we are looking forward to working with the community in the future to maintain these high standards.”
The Green Flag Award is the benchmark for green spaces and recognises the hard work of managers, staff and volunteers who help ensure outdoor areas provide people of all ages with a safe, clean and inspiring local environment.
Derek Robertson, Chief Executive of Keep Scotland Beautiful, said: “Scotland's parks provide a valuable resource to communities across the country and access to quality green space is vital in helping to tackle some of the health and well-being challenges we face.
“The Green Flag Award scheme sets the standard for the management of our outdoor spaces and recognises the hard work of everyone involved. This award is a tribute to local people in Stirling playing their part in creating and maintaining exceptional open spaces.”
