East Dunbartonshire Council has completed work on two new play parks.

Councillor Paul Ferretti, Convener of the Council’s Place, Neighbourhood and Corporate Assets Committee, officially opened Dougalston Gardens North Play Area along with local children from Lullaby Lane Nursery.

Keystone playpark, located off Keystone Quadrant, and Dougalston Gardens North Play Area were both completed in June.

The designs of both playparks were created following consultation with the residents from the nearby areas in November 2023. The most popular designs were then progressed and now both parks are being enjoyed by kids of all ages.

Councillor Ferretti said: "As with all our new playparks, the community has been involved in choosing the final designs for these projects. The end result is two fantastic new play areas that are already proving hugely popular with the young people of Milngavie.


"I'm sure they will be the backdrop to many happy hours of play this Summer and for many years to come."
