Constructed path

Idea for: Drumbrae Park, Edinburgh

I would like to see a constructed path through woodland in Drumbrea park. It is a large and beautiful park with some well established trees but apart of diagonal path that goes through it I believe the park and the community would benefit if the hard path was constructed through the woodland. So that park could be enjoyed. My kids call some of the trees there magical feries’ trees but I wouldn’t even know they exist if not their adventures nature that leads them through undergrowth.

Rams project proposal

Idea for: Hermitage of Braid and Blackford Hill and Pond Local Nature Reserve, Edinburgh

There are two ram-type water pumps in brick / stone chambers set into the north bank of Braid Burn between Hermitage House stables and the small weir upstream. These are presumed to have been installed in the 19th century, some time after the building of the house in the late 18th century, to supply water to the house and possibly the walled garden. They are now derelict to different degrees, with only parts of the rams visible above sediment and debris in the chambers. However, it is possible that they are essentially complete mechanically, and that renovation of at least one of them might be practical.

FoHB would like to sponsor a project to research and rehabilitate one or both of the ram pump systems and associated chambers, with two principal objectives:

– Carrying out a range of research and field activities to include public participation(with possibility of public site open days as well as participation in team)
– Recording, preservation and renovation of historic items to display, and possibly demonstration, level

Requests for expression of interest in participating have been e-mailed to supporters of FoHB and put on the FoHB Facebook page, and more than a dozen people have responded. This should be more than enough for a project team to be formed, and we would like to proceed with the project.

Clean up and make Eastfield Park Safe

Idea for: Eastfield Park, Glasgow

As Chair of Friends of Eastfield Park, we brought in an Architectural Liaison Officer from the Local Problem Solving Team, Maryhill Police, to do a walk-through of the park to identify security and safety issues with a view to making some much-needed physical changes which will, hopefully, make the park a safer place to visit and play. To make these changes will obviously cost money therefore, once agreed with the FoEFP members, we will fundraise to cover these costs.

Thereafter we’re looking at creating a plan of action for upgrading the park, bringing in a new and much better play area, etc., using the public consultation information gathered by nghomes regeneration team in 2016. If you’re interested, please get involved! eastfieldparkfriends@outlook.com.

Hard standing path around park

Idea for: Mount Vernon Park, Glasgow

Mount Vernon park need s a hard standing path that travels around the whole park. this would ensure that people can use the park in all seasons for walking, jogging etc. It will also allow children to cycle around the park rather than through the grass which is often too long to use.

Glasgow Green and the river

Idea for: Glasgow Green, Glasgow

I love walking though such a large and interesting park so close to the city centre.

The thing I would like to see is improved pathway along the river as it so peaceful to just stroll along the river.

People and Dog Friendly Park

Idea for: Linn Park, Glasgow

A restricted / fenced off area where dogs can be let-off their leads and allowed to exercise with their owners would be much appreciated by those who use the park and are fearful of dogs.

This is particularly so as, increasingly, the number of dogs (disciplined and non disciplined) are being let-off their leads in communal park areas, run free and, in a significant number of cases, cause distress to non-dog lovers and mothers with small children.

The by-laws pertaining to park behaviours stipulate that dogs should be on leads; this needs to be monitored and addressed before the park becomes a no-go area for non dog lovers.

Wooden animal sculptures for the woodland walk

Idea for: Seven Acre Park, Edinburgh

It would be great if there were some wooden animal characters placed along the new woodland walk in the park. It would help the kids to learn about what shapes the animals are, in 3D.
