Heaton awards

Heaton Park awarded as visitor attraction.

After an independent assessment of the park and its facilities, Heaton Park has been confirmed as a top visitor attraction. This has been recognised with the award of Quality Award Visitor Attraction (VAQAS) status.

VAQAS was launched nationally in 2001 as a consumer focused quality assessment service for all types of visitor attractions. It helps to identify strengths of an attraction and highlights development areas based on industry examples. A wide range of attractions of all sizes, both large and small, throughout England have benefited from participation in the service.

Heaton's General Manager, Graham Wightman said, " This award shows that Manchester City Council at Heaton Park is delivering a service comparable with top visitor attractions all over the country. We will be working hard to make sure that we continue to achieve high standards both here at Heaton and all the City Council's parks."
