£73,000 plans to improve Camperdown Park facilities including the sensory garden, inclusive play area and duck pond are to go before the city council's environment committee on Monday January 9.

Councillors will also consider a recommendation to spend £15,000 to prepare a development plan and five year action plan for Dundee's largest public park.

Environment convener Cllr Bob Duncan said: "The people of Dundee and visitors to the city enjoy the park and its facilities. It is a major attraction for all the family.


"Camperdown is an important part of Dundee's history, a green oasis in the city and a popular sporting venue.

"We are keen that parts of the park including the inclusive play area and the duck pond can be improved as quickly as possible, as we realise that these have been needing work carried out on them for some time.

"A five year development plan for the park will allow us to look forward to the future and further develop Camperdown Park as an attraction.

"We want people to continue to use the park regularly and we need to keep up the momentum of the progress that has been achieved so far."

The report to the committee outlines for spending £25,000 on environmental improvements to the duck pond and £48,000 for refurbishment of the sensory garden and inclusive play area.

The committee will also be given an outline of improvements at the park over the last seven years including upgrading of paths, golf course improvements and developments at the wildlife centre.
