Dunvegan Community Trust are excited to be working on a project to redevelop the play park in the village. The current play park has been neglected for some time, and with The Highland Council having no plans to renovate it themselves, we would like to create a new and exciting play park on the current site.
Volunteers have commissioned a project design from play equipment specialists Kompan and are working with the council to transfer the site into community use. To help us deliver this project, we are collaborating with Dunvegan Community Council and the Dunvegan school and parent council.
As we have now become an incorporated charity, we are formalising a sub-committee to take the project forward and are delighted to have a large number of volunteers on board already. We welcome anyone in Dunvegan who is willing to lend their time and expertise to join the project team and get involved.
We are committed to ensuring the new play park meets the specific needs and requirements of our community. In the coming weeks and months, we shall be consulting with residents and Dunvegan Primary School pupils to gather feedback on our project plans to help refine the final play park design.
We recognise that we have a significant fundraising challenge ahead of us. We shall be fundraising at local events and applying for grants to deliver the project, with our first funding application already submitted. We are hopeful that we can meet our target through various sources and donations.
If you wish to get involved in the project, we invite you to apply to join the play park working group on our updated website. Whether as a full sub-committee member or a volunteer, your contribution will be greatly appreciated!
