£1.3m investment will modernize Aberdeen play areas. New equipment, safety upgrades, and enhanced community spaces coming.
The money will help modernize play areas with new equipment and safety upgrades. The goal is more outdoor play for children and promoting social interaction. This is part of enhancing community spaces and promotes children’s health and well-being.
Several Aberdeen parks will benefit from this investment and details about specific locations are coming soon. Kevin Stewart, an MSP for Aberdeen Central, supports the investment, saying It keeps play areas safe and fun for all Aberdeen’s kids.
He believes play parks are good for kids’ brains. The £1,305,000 will help children, including the £559,000 for this year, improving their wellbeing. Locals wanted park upgrades for years, worried about old equipment and lacking maintenance in certain areas; this new money should fix those issues.
The funding will bring parks up to date so that children of all ages can enjoy them. The city also wants to improve outdoor spaces generally, building upon previous investments that supported parks. Work will begin soon across the city, and families should see improvements quickly as the play areas become safer and more fun. Kids get better places to play.
