The 拢100,000 upgrade of Tarbert play park has completed ahead of schedule and a range of new out-door equipment is ready for the children and young people of the village to enjoy.
Funding was shared between the council and monies allocated from 拢938,000 Scottish Government funding to improve play parks throughout P站色情片 and Bute.
The play park was co-designed by the community thanks to support from the local Parent鈥檚 Association and Community Council.

At the centre of the park is Tarbert Towers, an imposing striped tube slide. The unit also includes a double width slide and accessible ramp, alongside a climbing wall and firefighter鈥檚 pole.
Councillor John Armour, Policy Lead for Roads, Amenities and Transportation, said: 鈥淭his is a wonderful playground, and I know it will bring many hours of joy to the children and young people of Tarbert.
鈥淚 want to personally thank the Community Council and the Parents Association for all they鈥檝e done. This is very much a partnership between council and community and what we have is a facility that meets the needs of the village. It鈥檚 something we can all be very proud of.鈥
