Victoria Park to be used for new schools playing fields

We have received confirmation from Schools Division of Scottish Government that the City Council's application for dispensation also includes an intention that Victoria Park, 700m west of the proposed Logie site, would be used to provide playing fields for the new schools.

As we highlighted previously, this was not part of the original proposal that went to public consultation, and neither parents, elected councillors, church representatives, residents or the general public are aware of this recently addition.

What do you think of this plan? Should this undulating public park be given over, either in part or in total, for use by primary-age schoolchildren? What do teachers think about the logistics of taking large numbers of children from school to a public park that has no changing facilities, no toilets or other amenities, no enclosed area for safe play away from members of the public, dogs etc.?
