A campaign to help improve an Aberdeen park is to be launched, according to the BBC.

Allan Park, which is situated between the River Dee and the old Deeside Railway line, has been described as "hugely popular".

However, local residents have said it is in need of a number of improvements.

In an effort to try and raise the funds, a public meeting will take place at the end of the month. It is hoped a Friends of Allan Park group will be set up to raise money.

A spokesman for Aberdeen City Council said: "Allan Park, while relatively small, is a hugely popular facility which has attracted very few complaints in recent years.

"The park is not neglected and receives regular attention from our dedicated team of ground staff who carefully manage and maintain the park on a limited budget."

"Like all the other Friends groups we work with, we look forward to a fruitful and productive relationship."

The meeting will be held at Cults Academy on 29 May at 7pm.
