A state-of-the-art playpark has officially opened at King George V Park in Bearsden, following the completion of a £100,000 refurbishment.

Funded by a combination of East Dunbartonshire Council (EDC) Capital Funding and the Scottish Government’s Renewing Scotland’s Play Parks initiative, the project has transformed the park into a modern, inclusive facility for children and families in the area. The refurbishment involved replacing older equipment while retaining some more recently installed pieces, resulting in a well-rounded play area designed for children of all ages and abilities.


Key new features include:

• A wheelchair-friendly roundabout and a hard-backed disability swing, promoting accessibility for children with additional needs.

• Games panels, springies, and two multi-play units – one for younger children and a larger one for older kids.

• A variety of swings, including a tango swing that allows adults and children to enjoy swinging together.

• The Hurricane Swing, a thrilling spinning ride that is the only one of its kind in East Dunbartonshire.
