New Play Park For East Renfrewshire

A new play area has opened at Rouken Glen Park in East Renfrewshire.

The £270,000 project is part of a wider £3m investment in Rouken Glen.

The focal point of the new park is a pirate ship with a seven-metre tall bird's nest tower, while there are also two 30m long zip wire racers, a climbing wall, a train, swings, slides, a tunnel, a roundabout and a trampoline. There are different zones in the play park, referring to Rouken Glen's boating pond and woodland walks, and there is a dedicated toddler area, all-inclusive central play zone for juniors, a quiet zone, a climbing and swingalong zone and a landscaped play zone. The play park has also been designed to include equipment for wheelchair users and a multi-sensory zone has been included in the creation of the facilities.

Councillor Vincent Waters, East Renfrewshire Council's Environment Convener said: "We worked with parents and youngsters to deliver the ultimate play area. It was important to us to create an inclusive playground and the area has been designed to be accessible for all with more than 25 pieces of equipment which includes equipment for wheelchair users to enjoy, a dedicated toddler area and a multisensory section. This further investment in Rouken Glen Park is part of the £3million Parks For People investment programme funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and East Renfrewshire Council."
