A new Playpark for All could be up and running in Castle Douglas by June. The facility will be created at Lochside Park as a social and recreational hub for the community.
Designs for the long-awaited attraction were discussed at a public meeting in the town last Wednesday. The event, organised by Castle Douglas Development Forum, saw additional features added to the blueprint in response to public demand.
After the meeting, CDDF’s Carolyn Yates said: “This has been quite a long time coming due to the pandemic. “That had a big impact on the companies tendering for the contract. “The intention is that the playpark will be open by June in time for the summer holidays. “There will be fenced off play area with a zip-wire and accessible play equipment for young children. “And with safety in mind, it will have a rubberised wetpour surface – which means there will be no grass to cut or muddy areas through heavy usage.” Dumfries and Galloway Council community assets manager, Nicola Simpson, presented the designs and summarised their respective merits.
The community’s finalised choice has now gone to the council which will run the tendering process and award the contract. Officers will also manage the build on behalf of the forum.
