Overview

Help Shape the Future of Davie Park!

We’re making exciting improvements to the play area and wider greenspace at Davie Park, Rattray, and we want to hear from you and get your ideas!

We have identified five areas that could be transformed from open greenspace into vibrant, dynamic places for the whole community to enjoy. Some of the possibilities include:

  • A food-growing space or community orchard that brings people together to grow, share, and learn.
  • A biodiversity area or community woodland that creates a haven for wildlife and nature lovers.
  • Exciting new play equipment to spark imagination, creativity, and adventure for children of all ages.
  • Accessible seating, picnic spots, and relaxation areas that provide welcoming spaces to connect and unwind.
  • A pop-up multi-use event space that offers a flexible hub for fun, entertainment, and community gatherings.

But this isn’t set in stone! We want to hear your ideas—big or small—on how these spaces could best serve the community. Whether you love nature, enjoy outdoor social spaces, or have a completely new suggestion, we want to know!

This is your park and your voice matters, so tell us what matters most to you?  Share your thoughts and help us shape a creative, inspiring, and fun space for everyone.

Let’s create something amazing together!

Why your views matter

Every idea counts! The more people who share their thoughts, the more creative and exciting possibilities we can explore. By gathering lots of responses, we can build a shared vision for Davie Park that truly reflects what the community wants.

Some ideas might be simple and easy to put in place, while others could be bigger and require extra funding. If an idea proves really popular but is beyond our current budget, we can work together to explore fundraising opportunities. Your input helps shape what’s possible, and with enough support, we can bring even the most ambitious ideas to life!

This is a chance to make a real difference, and we’d love to hear from as many people as possible. Whether you have a small suggestion or a big dream, your voice matters.

What happens next

Once we’ve gathered all your ideas, we’ll bring them together to create an exciting design that reflects the community’s vision for Davie Park. This will be shared with you so you can see how your suggestions have shaped the plans.

But the conversation doesn’t stop there! We’ll ask for more feedback to make sure the final design is something the whole community can be proud of. Together, we can create a space that everyone will enjoy for years to come.
