Cowie Skate Park Goes On Site
Taking on the specimen design developed by Urban Design Futures, CPA have been working together with contractors, Alex Butter Landscaping Ltd. to construct a new skate park for the CRAGs community group in a public park in Cowie, Stirling. We are delighted to have begun the construction phase of the project which started in October and is progressing well. The design incorporates a large bowl feature, multiple ramps and other skate elements suitable for skateboards, BMX bikes and scooters as well as seating areas, all of which have been carefully integrated into the existing landform. Existing trees will be supplemented with new planting to ensure that the Skate Park fits its setting . The project also includes a new pedestrian link adjacent to the Skate Park, providing safe access for pupils to and from the new School across the park.
