The park is intended to be used on a 25 year lease with Currie Star FC as it's tenant. I'd expect that it will be the club that is primarily funding the reseeding/turfing of the pitches, unless the Council undertook to complete the work prior to the new lease being signed. Here is a council document from last year about the proposed lease. https://democracy.edinburgh.gov.uk/mgConvert2PDF.aspx?ID=33853 Edit: I've also found a planning application associated with the works to improve the pitches. https://citydev-portal.edinburgh.gov.uk/idoxpa-web/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=documents&keyVal=QHCWV9EWFNZ00 Edited August 5, 2022 by Footballfirst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets well used with young kids teams at weekends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
