RSPB Activities in Pilrig Park – 18th July
(Thanks to Friends of Pilrig Park for the following.)
Friends of Pilrig Park public meeting: Monday 11 April
(adapted from an email from Friends of Pilrig Park)
The Friends of Pilrig Park will be holding a public meeting on Monday, 11th April from 6.00-7.30pm at the McDonald Road Library. As always, FoPP is keen to hear your ideas and suggestions about how to continue to improve the park, so please do come along.
Over the last few months FoPP received a lot of comments about the state of the small play park (in particular since the slide was removed after it was deemed unsafe by City of Edinburgh Council). The Council have since said that they will not be replacing this equipment, so it seems unlikely that any further money will be spent on upgrading the play park in the near future. Continue reading

Friends of the Water of Leith Basin
Hello
I took a walk along the WoL path recently to look at the spring flowers we planted and was very disappointed by the amount of rubbish that has accumulated around Coalie Park and along the paths.
A joint cleanup has been arranged with the WoL Conservation trust for Sunday 28th February 10.30am – 1pm.
As usual we are meeting in Coalie Park – this link shows where it is: http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?X=326617&Y=676480&A=Y&Z=110
Hope to see you there.
Best wishes
