Initial consultation work was carried out by the Kirkwood Tenants and Residents Association in 2022 to find out what local residents thought the area needed. Following this initial piece of work, the Kirkwood Tenants and Residents Association approached the Community Partnership Team for further support and guidance. 

The local Community Partnership Officer worked in partnership with the Tenants and Residents Association to conduct a further, broader consultation exercise in late 2022.

This consultation was to gauge local support for the project and to help identify any further priorities for the local area which could be supported through LDP. A total of 221 responses to the survey were submitted by local residents which clearly identified the junior play area as a priority.

A location for the project was identified at Renfrew Street in Kirkwood.
