School’s out for Summer and children in Milngavie are going wild for, not one, but two brand new play parks installed by the Council in time for the holidays.
Keystone playpark - located off Keystone Quadrant – and Dougalston Gardens North Play Area were both completed in June and are already proving popular with the local children.
The designs of both playparks were created following consultation with the residents from the nearby areas in November 2023. The most popular designs were then progressed and now both parks are being enjoyed by kids of all ages.
Councillor Paul Ferretti – Convener of the Council’s Place, Neighbourhood and Corporate Assets Committee - officially opened the impressive new play areas along with local children from Lullaby Lane Nursery and Oakburn Early Years Centre.
Councillor Ferretti said, “As with all our new playparks, the community has been involved in choosing the final designs for these projects. The end result is two fantastic new play areas that are already proving hugely popular with the young people of Milngavie.
I’m sure they will be the backdrop to many happy hours of play this Summer and for many years to come.
The new £90,000 play area at Dougalston Gardens North – which was funded through a mixture of Scottish Government Renewing Scotland’s Play Park Funding and EDC Capital Funding – includes equipment that can be enjoyed by children of all ages and abilities. The play area includes a multi-play unit for children of all ages with two chutes, a climbing net, inclusive roundabout and a see-saw. There is also a sensory totem pole, woodland adventure balance trim-trail and a set of swings.
