Friends of Pilrig Park want to hear from YOU!

(adapted from an email from Friends of Pilrig Park)

Firstly a big ‘thank you’ to everyone who came along on Sunday to help tidy up the park. There was a great turn out and the park now looks immaculate!

We have, however, been getting a lot of comments recently about the state of the small play park (to the north of the park). The Friends of Pilrig Park are looking to work with City of Edinburgh Council to try to improve the facilities and it would be great to have your input into this.

Please can you complete a very quick (7 question!) survey to let us know your thoughts and ideas about the small play park. At this stage we can not promise anything but it would be great to have an idea of what people would want to see in this part of the park. The survey is completely anonymous and can be accessed via the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/6CXZVNT

Also, if you would like to come along to talk about this further – give us your thoughts and suggestions –  there is a public meeting specifically about the small play park scheduled between 6.00-7.00pm on Wednesday 25th May at the McDonald Road Library. Even if you have completed the survey it would be great to see you there as we can get more information and start to pull together a plan of action!

Thank you for all your help.
