Have Your Say on changes to Farrochie Park, Stonehaven

Have Your Say on Improvements to Farrochie Park!

Aberdeenshire Council is looking to consult on possible changes to Farrochie Park in Stonehaven and would love to hear your thoughts.

One of the main issues in the park is standing water on the footpath, which can make parts of it difficult to use. At the same time, we’d like to explore ways to make the park more enjoyable for both people and wildlife. At the moment, much of the park is mown grass, and the rose beds around the edges are in poor condition. The work would be funded through the Nature Restoration Fund, a Scottish Government grant dedicated to the delivery of biodiversity enhancements by Local Authorities.

What’s Planned?

Re-routing or redesigning a short section of footpath to avoid areas with standing water

Creating a small wet meadow to improve drainage and support wildlife

Planting and sowing wildflowers to attract pollinators

Adding small trees and shrubs to boost biodiversity
