Following the return of the questionnaires and evaluation, it was clear that the play area aspirations were bigger than just a straight refurbishment of the existing facility. As a result of this a local group (kinrosscommunitycouncil@gmail.com) has been set up and the group are currently sourcing and applying for additional funding for larger play area and Cycle/Pump Track. The allocated funding for the play area remains and will be used as a catalyst to attract further funding, it was felt that simply replacing play equipment in a similar layout and of a similar style would be a missed opportunity when potentially something larger could be created.

Overview

Perth & Kinross Council 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. Davis Park play area in Kinross has now come to the top of our list and in order 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 play areas. We encourage you to get involved, create new opportunities, think differently and take actions to improve the play facilities in your local area. We are already engaged with the local youth team and hope to include their ideas into the design proposals www.kythe.org.uk

Please complete the survey or get in touch with us by e-mail if you would like to tell us your ideas.

Our team will review the responses that we receive and identify what the most prominent themes are. From these we’ll decide on the types of play equipment to be installed. We’ll then produce a design layout which reflects the key elements of your feedback, at which point you’ll be given the opportunity to comment and amendments can be made if required and they are within budget constraints.

The project will then be finalised, and a Contractor employed to carry out the work which we plan to start in Summer 2022 with a completion date of Autumn 2022.
