Alice Littler Play Park Renewal

Alice Littler Play Park Renewal

Moray Council has allocated a budget of £100,000 to renew the play equipment and to improve the safety surfacing in the Alice Littler play park. The funding made available from the Scottish Governments Play Renewal Fund will provide £90,000 for new equipment and £10,000 for landscaping and ground works to remove the existing equipment foundations.

Owing to a recent condition survey and its low overall condition score, this park was identified and prioritised as one of four play parks in Moray for renewal in 2025-2026.

The equipment is now at end of life and will be largely removed, however, there is potential for the net climber to be retained following an in-depth condition inspection. The slide will be retained, although we may be required to landscape the access to it.

The Aberlour Playpark Group and other community representatives are working with Moray Council throughout this process. The Aberlour Playpark Group have been carrying out community consultations and additional fundraising to support the renewal of the play park.

This renewal will be completed using a participatory budgeting approach meaning that the community of Aberlour will have the opportunity to influence the project scope of service (the description of what style of play we would like designers to provide) and to vote for their preferred design.

The chosen play park design will be installed by March 2027.
