Since 2021, Renfrewshire Council has invested in the renewal or refurbishment of 35 play parks around Renfrewshire, and the Scottish Government has committed £461,000 for 2024/25 from the £60 million play area renewal fund. Laura’s play park area at Barshaw Park, along with the play parks at Brodie Park and Elm-Maple Drive, Johnstone, has been chosen to benefit from this funding. Further community play parks will benefit as the project advances.
Renfrewshire Council is inviting anyone with an interest in the play park at Barshaw Park to complete a survey into the types of equipment they would like to see installed during the refurbishment. It says that “it is important for parents, grandparents, carers, or anyone else taking kids to the park to have some input, as they will know what sort of equipment children are attracted to”.

The survey will close on Sunday 4th August 2024.
