PLANS for a £225,000 ‘destination’ play park in Port Glasgow — featuring a castle, boat and train — have been revealed, .
Inverclyde Council will create the fun facility at Parklea on land between the car park and the railway line.
The proposals have been submitted for planning approval.
A report previously presented to Inverclyde councillors stated: “The new destination-style play area at Parklea will mean that we have three large destination type play areas throughout the district. [the others are at Battery Park and Lunderston Bay]
“The installation of a destination play park in the east of Inverclyde ensures coverage of play park facilities with a balanced geographical coverage.
“Furthermore the Parklea development would join up with a number of other key initiatives in this area and enhances and supports the works carried out by both Inverclyde Leisure and Parklea Branching Out.
“The overall footfall lends itself to this type of facility.”
The council was allocated around £315,000 from the Scottish Government for play area investment.
