A community group is hoping to breathe new life into a dilapidated city centre play area.
The Aberdeen City Centre Community Council (ACCCC) is currently developing plans to regenerate the Skene Street swing park.
In September, the city council announced it would invest £665,000 upgrading 15 play parks across the city. However, Skene Street was not included in the process.
Dustin MacDonald, chairman of ACCCC, says the opportunities are endless for what could be done with the site.
He said: “The first thing we noticed is there is nothing for adults to do in the park.
“There’s not even a bench for them to sit on while their kids play.
“It is actually a pretty dismal play park, with the amount of concrete and how grey it is.
“I don’t think it was originally designed as a play park, I think it was somewhere where council vans used to be parked.”
The community council has now been given permission by the city council to move forward with the re-development.
“We’ve now set out to see how we can improve what’s there,” Mr MacDonald said.
“And we’re going to start with the wall.
“One of the things we are looking at is getting the kids at Gilcomstoun Primary to create artwork for the wall.
“There’s lots of different ideas, from putting in benches and plants to putting in outside gym equipment.”
The community council is now in the process of trying to secure funding to help the project move forward.
Mr MacDonald added: “There’s a variety of funding sources you can apply for, like the Aberdeen Greenspace Fund and Aberdeen Forward.
“We’re also working with the council to secure materials for the project.
“It’s not just a case of putting in some new swings, we have looked into similar projects in different cities across the country.
Meanwhile, fresh off the back of Aberdeen winning this year’s Britain In Bloom awards, there could soon be orchards planted on the city streets.
Aberdeen Inspired is looking to plant the first orchard at a site near to where Guild Street and Bridge Street meet.
Angela Joss, project manager for the organisation, was present at the most recent city centre community council meeting to discuss the proposals.
