North Lanarkshire Council have announced the development of a new woodland play park at Palacerigg Country Park in Cumbernauld.

The development includes two seven metre high towers connected by rope bridges with a vertical rope climbing tunnel, pendulum swing seats and enclosed five metre tube slide.

In the surrounding woods there will be more play equipment, including balance beams, wobble bridges and low level climbing features, along with seating and picnic benches.

The project will be funded from money received by the council through the dissolution of Campsies Centre (Cumbernauld) Ltd, and developed by the council as part of its plans for the park.

A number of consultation events have been held recently with local people and park visitors, and the council will now take forward a plan for further improving the park for the future.

The new play park is expected to open to the public by the start of August.
