Adventure Playground
We will soon be upgrading our adventure playground by investing £495,000 to replace some existing equipment, install more inclusive play areas and upgrade surfacing.
Funded by The Scottish Government Capital Grant, the project will take place from the end of October 2026 until January 2027.
The centrepiece of the enhanced play area is a giant multi-play structure designed to offer a unique forest play experience with towers, tunnels, climbing walls, and balancing trails.
