Who wants to be Friends with Pilrig Park?

Great news!

This is your chance to make a real difference to Pilrig Park and become a ‘friend’:

A Friends of Pilrig Park group has been pulled together to help improve its facilities and make it a fantastic space for all of us to enjoy. Much has been said about the shortcomings of Pilrig Park, notably the lack of bins and benches, and the mystery trees, but If you think that with improved coordination with the Council and increased input from the community the park can be turned around and you are willing to lend a hand, then look no further.

If you would like to be involved in the group, put forward any suggestions for changes or improvements, or just be kept informed of our progress, please contact Sophie Brown at friendsofpilrigpark@gmail.com.

A discussion about a forthcoming public consultation on Pilrig Park will also be on the agenda at our next meeting on 25th February, so please join us if you can.

Good Morning!

Just to let you know that we changed the look of the website.  This is because an annoying hyperlink kept crawling up the screen confusing and irritating folk reading the posts.

We hope you like the new theme ‘Misty Lake’, presumably depicting thick fog, hence the white background, clean and simple.   However, having only limited choice, the header photo is not very sharp, so we would really like people to send us a better one, one that shows Leith at its very best

So, if someone has a really good, high resolution photograph that is apt and is happy to let us use it, we would be delighted to have it as our banner.

Images should be at least 1015 pixels wide. Suggested width is 1015 pixels. Suggested height is 276 pixels.  Please email it to contactleithcentralcc@gmail.com.  If you don’t have the right size image, don’t worry, we can do the cropping for you.
