The Friends of Cuthill Park would
greatly appreciate your help in spreading the word about Cuthill
Park, Prestonpans, a tranquil open space and community garden
that is sadly not as well-known or as well-used as it could be.
In the Community Garden, there
are currently a limited number of raised beds,
of various dimensions, available to community groups or families, who
wish to grow their own produce.
Alternatively, for people who prefer to
garden in the company of others, the Friends have frequent work days
where people can weed, plant or build while making new friends– no
gardening experience necessary.
Spanning 1.6Ha, the slopes of the park
form a natural ampitheatre, and makes the park a great venue
for open air performances, educational workshops, sporting activities
and community events.
Cuthill Park is one of the few
remaining large green spaces in Prestonpans and, with its slopes,
wooded areas and views across the Firth of Forth, it is a perfect
place for contemplation and relaxation.
On Saturday 8th
March (between 2 and 4 p.m.) there will be a community tree planting
event - all welcome.
The Friends of
Cuthill Park was set up in 2007 (Scottish Charity Number SC040402)
with the aim of improving the park, increasing visitor numbers,
improving the heath and wellbeing of local residents and increasing
the biodiversity of the local area. Meetings are informal and new
members are very welcome and much needed.
Please share this information with
your groups and mailing lists.
We hope to see you in the park soon!
Kind regards
The Friends of Cuthill Park
