Manse Road Play Park has re-opened following extensive works that have transformed the site into the county’s first fully inclusive play park.

The project began in December with excavation and the removal of outdated equipment, alongside the creation of a new parking area. Groundworks were followed by the installation of new play structures, delivered by R S Clouston and ScotPlay.

The upgraded park represents a significant investment in accessible play, ensuring children of all abilities can enjoy stimulating, safe and engaging activities close to home.

Elaine Harcus, Orkney Islands Council's Team Manager for Sports and Leisure, said: "We're really excited that the reopening of Manse Road Play Park is just around the corner. This project marks a major step forward in providing inclusive play opportunities in Orkney, and it's fantastic to see the vision coming to life."

The design was shaped in close collaboration with Inclusive Orkney to ensure the facilities meet the needs of children and families across the islands.

The redeveloped Manse Road site will serve as a flagship for inclusive play in Orkney. Funding has come from the Scottish Government’s Play Park Renewal Fund and the Council's Play Area Renewal Fund.
