Refurbishment of Legion Park, Comrie
Feedback updated 20 Sep 2024
We asked
Following an onsite consultation with the Friends of Legion Park in 2023, we produced a concept masterplan for the site including the play facilities. We then ran a further consultation from August to September 2024 asking for your views on the design.
You said
We received 94 responses through the consultation hub with a small number of others providing feedback through other means.
The responses were extremely positive overall, and raised a number of themes for us to consider in more detail as we develop the detailed design. These themes include the provision of sensory and inclusive play equipment, as well as accessibility and seating in the park. The consultation also touched on issues regarding grass management in line with PKC’s Grow Wild scheme and increasing tree planting in the park, and there appears to be a high level of support for incorporating these changes into the masterplan design. This will hopefully lead to a reduction in maintenance in the park as well as increasing biodiversity and adding aesthetic improvements to the park.
We did
The comments and feedback from the consultation are currently being discussed and the outcome of these discussions will inform the next stage of the design process, which will see the masterplan design amended to take the key themes into consideration.’
Overview
We look after over 160 play areas across the region, from large facilities at our major parks to rural and local play areas right on your doorstep. Legion Park in Comrie has now come to the top of our list and to make improvements which suit everybody's needs, we're asking you to take part in our small survey and consultation.
Why your views matter
In the spirit of the Perth and Kinross Offer we want to work together with citizens, communities and businesses to explore ways to transform and maintain our parks and play areas. We encourage you to get involved, create new opportunities, think differently, and take actions to improve the park facilities in your area. We've already been engaging with the Friends of Legion Park group and following ongoing discussions over the last year we've have come up with a concept design masterplan for the site. Before we proceed any further we would love to hear your views.
What happens next
We will collate all of the comments received and report back our findings on the page in due course.
