Parks and Play Area Actions
The standards analysis has identified the following key actions:
The parks in the cluster fall below the quality standard (70%) with an average site quality score of 65% and some sites scoring as low as 40%. Prestonpans has the lowest scoring sites. Identify the lowest scoring sites (PR06 - Cuthill Park, PR09, PR16 and PR25) and upgrade the facilities and landscape quality, bringing them up to the minimum quality standards. Prioritise facilities over landscape quality, wich can be developed as the park matures and the footfalls increase. Quality of the sites that fall just below the standard could be improved by relatively low cost measures such as bulb planting, wildflower meadows or tree planting. Address quality of parks in the Cluster. Identify the lowest scoring sites and upgrade the facilities and landscape quality, bringing them up to the minimum quality standards.
Priority Open Space Projects
PR06 Cuthill Park Local Park Quality Score 48
Consider a total reworking and re-planting of the space including in the redesign a children's play area, cleaner more welcoming wider access points with a variety of colourful tree and shrub planting. A clearer and more substantial path network and other facilities such as benches and bins.
