About this cause

The purpose of the Friends are: to encourage use of the park to help improve quality of life and recreation time; work in consultation with local community organisations, schools, park users and provide advice to Perth and Kinross Council on the management, maintenance and future development of the Park area; promote the conservation of the natural plant, animal and bird life of the Park area; encourage appropriate leisure and recreational pursuits; educate the public in the heritage, natural history and other aspects of the Park area; work in partnership with Perth and Kinross Council and its environmental services and specialists in the ongoing maintenance and development of the Park area and support any other activities which further the aims of our organisation.

How this cause brings people in the community together

The play equipment, once installed, will benefit all children in the local area and various groups that visit our parks. The 2012 Path Counter Data suggested footfall of 110,000 and an estimated footfall supplied to HLF in 2015 was in excess of 250,000 for MacRosty Park as a whole - of which approximately 1/3 visit for the play area.
