Auchterarder Public Park - New Children’s Play Park:

We were delighted to open our new Children’s Play Park on Saturday 3rd June 2023, with a fantastic celebratory event.

Auchterarder Public Park - Pocket Forest:

As of October 2023, the new Pocket Forest is now open to the public.

This is a winter photo - the trees will grow!

This photo is taken in winter, after the benches were installed - the forest will grow!

Mountain Bike Skills’ Area & Pump Track Update:

In parallel to the Children’s Play Park, excellent progress has been made with the joint Mountain Bike Skills’ Area & Pump Track part of the project.

  • A focus group (National Agencies, local residents and commercial partners) has been set up and has meet regularly.

  • Guidance has been sought from Scottish Cycling and sportscotland.

  • Invitations for tender bids were invited at the end of October 2022. (A copy of the documentation is available below.)

  • Further funding was successfully secured, to enable the ultimate vision of both Pump Track ‘Option 3’ and the Mountain Bike Skills’ Area to be delivered.
