THE CENTRAL AVENUE PLAY PARK HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY OPENED AFTER A TREMENDOUS COMMUNITY FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN. 08:13, 04 Jun 2025 A new inclusive play park in Gretna has been officially opened.
The Central Avenue Play Park has been transformed to offer facilities for children and young people of all ages. The project has been delivered by a sub-group of Gretna and Rigg Community
Council, led by local councillor Archie Dryburgh. Dumfries and Galloway contributed £104,000 towards the cost of the park, with £80,000 coming from the local authority’s coastal benefit
fund. READ MORE: Takeaway giants McDonald's resubmit plans for new £4 million Dumfries drive-thruREAD MORE: Shoppers at Dumfries supermarket could be hit with £70 fine for breaking new
