Last updated 23rd Jun 2026
Greenlaw Play Park has reopened following a major refurbishment as part of Scottish Borders Council's play park improvement programme.
The upgraded facility includes new attractions - including a multi-play tower, swings, an agility trail, and carousel.
Many of the installations have been designed to be accessible to children of different ages and abilities.
The official opening was carried out by Greenlaw Maid Hayley-Anne Paxton on Friday.
The event was attended by local residents, pupils from Greenlaw Primary School and representatives from the community council and Scottish Borders Council.
Councillor John Greenwell, Scottish Borders Council's Executive Member for Roads and Public Space Development, said: "It is fantastic to see Greenlaw Play Park reopened and being enjoyed by local children and families.
"This investment has delivered a high-quality, modern play space that offers a wide range of opportunities for children of different ages and abilities to play, explore and be active.
"The refurbishment reflects our commitment to investing in communities across the Scottish Borders and ensuring that children and young people have access to safe, inclusive and engaging outdoor spaces.
"I would like to thank the local community for their support and involvement throughout the project and hope the new facility will be enjoyed for many years to come."
