Play area:Phase I will open as soon as the turf has had chance to anchor itself to the underlying soil. How quickly this happens will depend on the weather. We want lots of warm, wet weather but unfortunately it's been a bit on the cool side since we laid it. Rest assured though, we're monitoring it regularly and hope it's only a matter of 2-3 weeks. Let's hope for lots of 🌦☀️🌦 We can't wait! Phase 2, which will include toddler and inclusive play items, will be delivered this year. However, so far we have only raised enough funding for about three items of equipment. We have submitted a number of grant applications but it's also really important we raise as much as possible locally. We'll do this via fundraising events (look out for our post on Monday evening 😃) but we also need as many donations as you, our community, are able to contribute: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/strathpefferplay2 . Every donations, no matter how small or large, helps. We will let the Phase 2 contract over the summer, regardless of whether we have enough funds to include all the play items, so the more we can raise between now and then the more items we'll be able to deliver. Thank you for all your contributions so far 🙏💚 Bike ZonePhase 1 of our exciting new bike track was constructed last autumn. Since then we are still waiting for that magical few weeks of dry weather to allow the surface to settle and set hard. We're almost there but, like the play area, we're at the mercy of the weather. The recent dry spell (did you spot it😄) helped, but it's not quite ready yet. Over the next couple of weeks you'll see our volunteers out giving the surface a final compact. So, not long but weather dependent, so sorry we can't give an exact date.
