There have been recent improvements to the park but we at Bothwell Road Action Group (BRAG) want to see more.
We have conducted an ongoing consultation in the local area and with park users to see what improvements can be made. It was clear that although the first phase improvements were welcomed and much of the equipment was accessible to all there was no real provision for older children within the park.
To remedy this we want to raise £5,000 to install climbing boulders and an assault course and sensory garden for older children.
The climbing boulders and assault course will be an exciting development for the park providing a focal point in the park for older children to get active and challenge themselves.
We also want to install an accessible sensory garden to be maintained by local schools. The sensory garden will allow the young people and community groups to take ownership of the park it will also create a safe and accessible area for to relax and reflect. Please help us make the park a place for people of all ages with these exciting developments.
Both of these projects form part of our wider plan to regenerate the park, the overall project will be in excess of £100,000. We are seeking funds from a variety of sources to make the vision for the park a reality.

MyParkScotland provides a safe and easy way to make a donation to support this great project.
To make a donation, click on ‘Support Now’ and select your choice of Gift Level. If you are a UK tax payer, selecting a Level which includes Gift Aid means that we can top up your donation at no extra cost to you. Adding Gift Aid typically means that your online donation of, for example, £10 becomes a park investment of £11.53 (after paying platform and management fees). You need to provide your address to enable us to claim Gift Aid.
Gift Aid is a Government scheme which allows charities to increase the value of donations made to them. Gift Aid makes a huge difference to small charities and local organisations, but if they aren’t registered with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator and HMRC, they can’t claim Gift Aid (and many that could claim Gift Aid don’t because they find the process too complicated). At MyParkScotland, we take care of the claim process on eligible donations, so that the Friends and community groups can concentrate on the great work they do in our parks.
We use PayPal to manage online donations and they charge a small platform fee for handling donations. We work hard to keep our fees as low as possible to make sure that as much of each donation as possible is invested in our parks. For donations without Gift Aid, at least 92% of your donation is invested in parks. MyParkScotland is a not-for-profit registered Scottish charity (No. SC045424) and any fees taken go towards covering essential operating costs.
You can find out more information about Gift Aid and MyParkScotland fees in the main Small Print section.
Happy to help and hope others can too.
