Work On Duthie Park Café Refurb In Aberdeen Complete

Construction News Image
Work on a café extension and refurbishment in Aberdeen is now complete.

The Duthie Park café is scheduled to reopen on Thursday, 20 July.

The new larger facilities at the venue include south-facing floor-to-ceiling windows revealing the vista of the park, the cricket lawns, the bandstand and the water features beyond.

To the rear, a newly-glazed wall gives view to an abundance of tropical palms along with creating an integral link to the award-winning Winter Gardens.

In 2013, Duthie Park underwent a £5 million refurbishment with funding provided by Aberdeen City Council and the Heritage Lottery Fund.

The upgraded café will be called the park café and will have a similar design with the café at Hazlehead Park.

A spokesperson for Park Cafe said: "It was a major reconstruction and had issues associated with the modernisation of a 1960s building.

"However we are almost there, and we hope our valued customers will be happy with what they experience and will feel it has all been worth waiting for."

Cllr Yvonne Allan said: "It's fantastic the café will be re-opened again as it's in one of our most popular parks which has lots to do for all the family.

"The café will complement the other facilities including water features, playparks, Japanese Garden, and the Winter Gardens which it will connect directly to.

"The park, which is situated beside the River Dee, is within easy walking, cycling and bus journey reach of the city centre so we look forward to welcoming locals and visitors to enjoy one of the jewels in the city's garden crown during the summer."
