Our aim is to make the  Zetland Park play zone into a place where all children, whether able or disabled, can play together.

Falkirk Council in partnership with Friends of Zetland Park and Play as One Scotland are working to achieve this vision and we asking for your help to raise £20,000 towards specialist inclusive play equipment.

The first of our fundraising targets is £5,500 for the purchase of an accessible roundabout which will allow all children to enjoy the sensation of spinning, together, at the same time. The design of the roundabout means that users can stand or sit and the space provided means that it can be used by those in wheelchairs and buggies.

Our next target will be to raise funds to purchase a wheelchair swing.

These pieces of play equipment will be integrated into a wider design for the play area which will allow for other opportunities for inclusive play.

• An accessible roundabout will allow all children to enjoy the sensation of spinning, together, at the same time. The design of the roundabout means that users can stand or sit and the space provided means that it can be used by those in wheelchairs and buggies.
• The swing will allow those in a wheelchair to experience both the joy and the physical benefits of swinging alongside their friends

In addition to the £20,000 that we are asking the community to assist with we will be seeking other funding from a variety of sources:

• Falkirk Council capital funding
• Grant applications including National Lottery Heritage Fund
• Play As One Scotland fundraising
• Local business support
