Following an amazing fundraising campaign, the Dunvegan Park Working Group has successfully raised the full amount for the refurbishment of the park at Lochside in Dunvegan.
The park equipment will be ordered in the coming weeks and we’re aiming to have it installed in September. Huge thanks are owed to the volunteers on the Park Working group who have provided a fantastic example of what can be achieved with determination and co-operation, as well as to the local groups and businesses, corporate sponsors and government funding bodies who have supported the project.
UPCOMING DATES:
We need help to clear the site of weeds, bag up some bark chips, and gravel, spread topsoil and re-seed the park to ensure grass is established by September. Please come along if you can and lend a hand, and bring gloves, shovels, spades, and wheelbarrows if possible.
PARKING: PLEASE DO NOT PARK AT THE LOCHSIDE RESIDENTS’ PARKING OR OUTSIDE THE SHOPS AT LOCHSIDE. If possible drop off tools at the Park and leave your cars at the main carpark in the village and walk down! Otherwise the Church of Scotland kindly allows parking at the church, provided they don’t have a service on.
