Playpark customer survey

View the results of our customer surveys on play equipment at Thornliebank Playing Fields and McDiarmid Park

We secured funding from the UKSPF (UK Shared Prosperity Fund) and The Scottish Government to install a new play area at Thornliebank Playing Fields and upgrade the playpark at McDiarmid Park. We asked local people to vote on which pieces of equipment they'd like in the new play areas. 

Thornliebank Play Park

£120,000 in total has been received for this project, including £50,000 to install accessible equipment, fencing and seating areas. We will buy as many of your favourite items within the allotted budget.

We asked local people to choose their favourites from 3 different groups of equipment
