Work begins on new play area at Balgreggie, Cardenden

Work has started on the exciting new play area at Balgreggie in Cardenden.

Over 190 children from local primary schools took part in the consultation and the final design, which is suitable and accessible for all, takes on board their suggestions and choices.

The new design is made up of a variety of equipment which will mean there will be something suitable and accessible for everyone, including a spica, tipi carousel, three tower unit, balance beam, swing sets as well as springies and stepping pods.

Councillor Linda Erskine, Fife Council’s Spokesperson for Communities said: “I am delighted to see so many young people participating in the park consultation.  We’re all keen to see these exciting plans become a reality.  It has taken some time to get to this point but I am sure the community will be delighted with the results.

“Fife Council has been working hard to improve the play area.

“The previous play equipment had reached the end of its life. We’re now set to see a fantastic new £100,000 play park.”

The new play area should be ready before the summer holidays.
