Borderers encouraged to have their say on future of Galashiels Play Park

Published: 3rd April 2023

A consultation has been launched inviting members of the public to have their say on what improvements they would like to see made to the play park on Woodstock Avenue, Langlee in Galashiels

The facility is the next to see refurbishment as part of our Play Park Capital Programme, which launched in 2022

We are committed to providing a fun, safe and inclusive play environment for children and families in the area and as a result, is extremely keen to hear from communities to find out what changes people would like to see including the types of equipment that will be installed.

Contactors are already in place for the works and any feedback provided will be developed through a collaborative effort with them.

Councillor John Greenwell, Executive Member for Roads Development & Maintenance

“Play parks are an integral part of communities throughout the Scottish Borders and it is great to see continued investment into improvements.

“We want the park to be a fun and engaging environment for children of all ages and abilities, which is why this consultation is so important.

“I would encourage as many people as possible take part in the consultation and provide feedback to help guide future improvements and ensure the needs of the community are met.”

The consultation is available online and those wishing to have their say will have until Sunday 30 April
