Detailed design phase
This current phase kicked off with a workshop run by the Thriving Greenspace team in collaboration with landscape architects AtkinsRĂ©alis and skatepark designers Betongpark.
Our campaign has supported the design process over the last year; attending meetings, reviewing and feeding back on draft designs and sharing updates on our social channels where possible.
We’ve been really impressed with the process and engagement activities which the project team have carried out and hope to be able to share more details on this along with designs updates in early 2025.
The project team
Thriving Greenspaces are the development team within the City of Edinburgh Council’s Parks and Greenspace staff group, who are leading the project.
AtkinsRĂ©alis are the landscape architects commissioned by the Thriving Greenspaces team to develop the detailed design for the activity hub.
Betongpark are one of Europe’s leading skatepark design companies, based in London, commissioned by AtkinsRealis to design the wheeled sports area.
Leith Links Working Group
This is a group of representatives from local organisations, including our campaign group and Leith Links Community Council, along with our local councillors. The group meets intermittently to inform and consult on the developing designs.
2023 consultation
A consultation that focused exclusively on the layout of the activity hub, the specific features within it and concepts for the redevelopment of the pavilion building ran between 6 September 2023 and 21 October 2023.
The results and feedback received in response to the consultation informed the detailed design stage.
