Woodstock Avenue Play Park in Galashiels has reopened following £80k of investment in new equipment.
Futher details of the investment
It is the latest play facility to have undergone a full refurbishment as part of our commitment to spending almost £5million across the period 2022-2029 to enhance these facilities for current and future generations and provide meaningful play opportunities for all children and young people.
The new accessible for all play park contains a wide variety of play equipment including miniature train and carriage, basket swing, rope bridge, see-saw and carousel.
Also included is a Track Ride Tower which provides a similar play experience to a zip-wire.
The play equipment is suitable for all ages and also features equipment which is inclusive for all.
The products are made of natural building materials like Robinia wood from sustainable forestry, a durable hardwood with excellent UV resistance.
