Dear Friends/Colleagues,
Some of you might know that we have doing lots of work on West Pilton Park over the last year with the aim of improving negative perceptions and getting more people using it. We’ve been working with local organisations, the council and residents from the area to hold events on the park. These have enabled us to talk to lots of people about what would make them want to use the park more and their suggestions have been used to develop improvement plans, some of which are underway already!
Also, the events have been such a success that there is now a constituted ‘Friends of West Pilton Park (Parklife)’ group made up of local people enthusiastic about seeing change on the park. ‘West Pilton Parklife’ are already busy planning an annual programme of events on the park for the local community. It is after all, a great open space in the heart of North Edinburgh with potential to have something for everyone.
We hope that you enjoy reading all about it (below)!
Kind Regards
Lianne Pipskyj & Clare Symonds
