Childrens Play Areas
Polkemmet Country Park
The new Play Area in Polkemmet Country Park is now open to the public. Please come and join us and enjoy all the new and exciting facitlites for all ages.
As part of the planning process for the new park we consulted with a number of local children to ask them for their ideas on how the new park should look and what equipment should be included.
We would like to extend our thanks to everyone who took the time to complete our online survey regarding the new Play Area at Polkemmet Country Park.
The policy of improving play areas in West Lothian has been proceeding for a number of years. Opportunities to participate in play activities are essential to the healthy mental, physical, social and emotional development of children. The main objectives are to ensure that children have accessible, safer, inclusive fun and stimulating play environments.
New play park coming to Eliburn
Local children are being consulted on plans to create an inspirational play area at Eliburn Park in Livingston, between Eliburn reservoir and Houston Road.
West Lothian Council have teamed up with Jupiter Play & Leisure to create a unique £200,000 play area.
Current proposals will see different play areas for different ages/groups in the park which will have been specially designed to be inclusive of young people of all ages and abilities.
Information is also available online at www.jupiterplay.co.uk/eliburn (new window) for anyone who is interested to look at the plans and comment on them
