As part of the Zetland Park Project, Falkirk Council in partnership with Friends of Zetland Park and Play as One Scotland would like to transform the Zetland Park play zone.  Our aim is to make the  Zetland Park play zone into a place where all children, no matter their ability or disability, can play together.

In September 2019 we were so excited that with support from individuals along with local schools and groups,  we reached our first fundraising target of £5,500.  With this £5,500 we will be able to purchase and install an accessible roundabout in Zetland Park.  This roundabout will allow all children to enjoy the sensation of spinning, together, at the same time as the design can accommodate those with in wheelchairs/buggies alongside those who wish to sit on the seats or stand.

To build on the success of reaching the first target, we would like to extend our fundraising target to £19,000.  The extra £13,500 will allow us to purchase a wheelchair swing, allowing wheelchair users the opportunity to experience the joy and physical benefits that access and use of a swing brings.

Exciting design ideas for the playarea have been developed, in partnership with the community and through this process we have identified just two pieces of specialist inclusive play equipment, an inclusive roundabout and a wheelchair swing that we are asking for your help fund.

To support the delivery of the wider play area design in addition to the £19,000 that we are asking the community to assist with, we are 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
