Work is to start on a £1 million park improvement project in West Lothian.
The scheme will see sporting and leisure facilities transformed at Watson Park in Armadale.
Features include building new stand-alone team sports changing facility in conjunction with Armadale Community Football Club, modernising Watson Memorial Bowling Club and improving the open space areas in the park.
Work is underway to develop the new sports pavilion and is aimed to start on-site by summer 2019. A programme of planned improvement work will be agreed with Watson Memorial Bowling Club to include fabric, mechanical and electrical upgrades.
Other works such as drainage works, path upgrades and refurbishing the existing enclosed ball court will take place to complement other changes being carried out at the park. The current changing rooms and former depot building at the park will be assessed to see if it can be used for equipment storage in the future.
