We are renewing the playground at Cairnbrae Reserve in Northcross.
The current playground is old and needs updating. We are replacing the old play equipment and giving the whole space a much-needed refresh.
The playground also floods during wet weather which limits its use. We are improving drainage so the playground can be used throughout the year.
What we are planning
We are planning to:
- install new play equipment, including accessible options like a basket swing, carousel and a trampoline
- improve drainage to reduce flooding
- improve playground surfaces to make them safer and easier to use.
What we want your feedback on
We want to know:
- what play equipment and activities you would like in the new playground
- your ideas for themes or colours for the playground
- if you have any other feedback about Cairnbrae Reserve.
