Friends of SMS Park

The Friends of SMS Park is a group dedicated to promoting, maintaining and improving the green spaces of SMS Park in the southwest of Edinburgh.

​

We are exploring projects with the aim of improving our well-loved park such as tree planting, creating a herb garden, improving facilities, organising events, etc. If you have another project idea or identify a need for our park, get in touch!

Playground Area

Playgrounds help children build memories, encourage physical activity/socialisation, and ultimately make people happy. However, the fenced playground currently installed in SMS Park has been recognised by the local community as a priority for improvement.

​

We want to explore what steps we can take to raise funds for creating a modern, safe, wonderful playground space for children in our community. This would work well in tandem with other potential community events, giving children in the area more ways to use the park and engage with this green space.
