Why it's time to 'perk up our play parks'– Daniel Johnson MSP

Summer has finally arrived and with it an easing of outdoor meeting restrictions so we should all try and enjoy our beautiful green spaces.

We are lucky in Edinburgh to have so many open spaces to choose from, but I have noticed a number of our children’s play parks have fallen into a sad state of disrepair.

I recently visited Inch park with my daughters and was disappointed with the state of the swing park. Many of the rails were missing or broken and it needed a lick of paint.
