The facility replaces the previous play area at Brownhill Street, featuring two distinct zones for children of different age groups. New equipment includes two climbing cubes, a zip line, an inclusive roundabout, two additional climbing and multi-play units, and several different swing sets.
Both areas are equipped with picnic benches, including options with wheelchair access, to ensure families can enjoy the park together.
Pupils from Alexander Peden Primary School collaborated with the council's Community Partnership Team and the local community to design and name the play area, which has been christened ‘The Swingy’.
“"The new play area is already very popular with children and families and complements the existing multi-use games area and wheeled sport ramp."
“"Congratulations to everyone involved on delivering a fun, inclusive play area for local children and families to enjoy."
The sign for the park was designed by Jayden Swift, a P7 pupil at Alexander Peden Primary School. Jayden joined Councillor Woods on 2 November to officially open the park.
The project was funded through £100,000 from the council's Local Development Programme.
