Midlothian adventure play area to reopen with climbing towers and slides

Summarised from Edinburgh Live's report · Updated 10 Oct, 17:13 · Archive

Midlothian Council is upgrading Vogrie Country Park's adventure play area with new climbing structures, slides and accessible equipment.

Midlothian families will have access to an upgraded adventure play area at Vogrie Country Park following input from 335 individuals and families in a public consultation. The new equipment includes a large adventure play structure with climbing towers, tunnels, rope-based play elements and slides. A redesigned inclusive play area for children aged one to five will provide accessible play equipment and sensory features for children of all abilities.

The adventure play area will partially close on 12 October for preparatory work and fully close from 2 November during installation, with the rest of the park remaining open. The work is expected to take around ten weeks depending on weather. Councillor Dianne Alexander said the improvements would 'create a more inclusive, accessible and exciting play space for children of all ages, while helping ensure Vogrie remains one of Midlothian's most popular family destinations for years to come'.
