A planning application has been submitted for a new playpark on the Greenway next to the Greenway Garden by Wester Hailes Growing Communities.

The playlandscape, designed after a series of consultations, will be located to the west of the Greenway Garden on a current grassy area.

The proposed design is a combination of playful landscaped mounds and play zones connected by simple paths. There are changes in textures, colour and surface from natural materials, vegetation, logs and boulders to create sense of place and wayfinding.

The enclosed free play zone is for supervised and loose parts play (such as construction
and sand play). Adjacent is a water play area with a connecting entrance to the free play zone.

The play landscape is designed to work with the enclosed community garden in a mutually supportive way to support the nurturing of biodiversity, plants and trees.
