Gatehouse welcomes new inclusive play park

A NEW inclusive play park has been officially opened in Garrie's Park, Gatehouse of Fleet.

The Gatehouse Development Initiative raised an impressive £250,000 to install a Changing Places toilet and upgrade play facilities at Garrie's Park, ensuring the park meets a high standard of accessibility and inclusivity. Additional support came from Dumfries and Galloway Council’s Play Park Renewal Fund and Coastal Benefit Fund, with over £57,000 secured in community funds.

It's the fourth inclusive play park project launched this year in the region with support by the Scottish Government Play Park Renewal Fund.

A council spokesperson said: "This milestone marks another step forward in creating accessible, welcoming spaces for children and families across our region."
