Stirling Council has launched a public consultation into its draft plan for the transformation of the city's Kings Park, which is designed to meet the needs of the local community.

London-based consultants Mouchel has developed the Kings Park Draft Masterplan on behalf of the council, which encompasses initial views from users and local organisations. The masterplan includes a feasibility study into the redevelopment or replacement of an existing skatepark, while the consultation aims to gather views on the park's access, environment and buildings.

Stirling Council portfolio holder with responsibility for environment Jim Thomson said: "The public consultation is at an important stage to allow park users to have a final say in shaping the long-term future for the city's Kings Park. "This historic park is a very popular recreation spot for many residents across the Stirling Council area and beyond, so it's important that park users and the community have an opportunity to provide their views on potential development of the park."
