Park is a wonderful space for all

September 16, 2025

It's been a busy and exciting month, and I've really enjoyed getting out and about to meet so many local community groups and businesses.

- Natalie Don SNP MSP for Renfrewshire North and West

One highlight was the official opening of Central Park in Bishopton.

I joined pupils from Dargavel Primary for their morning assembly where we sang together and discussed why green spaces and nature are so important.

I was also proud to present prizes to four young artists whose fantastic work will now greet visitors at the park entrances - keep an eye out for them on your next visit!

Later, I joined members of Bishopton Community Council, Renfrewshire Council and BAE Systems to officially open the park.

With play areas, a climbing forest, walking paths, ponds and woodlands, there really is something for everyone.

Having followed this project for several years, it’s wonderful to see it completed ahead of schedule.

I have no doubt that Central Park will quickly become a much-loved space for both residents and visitors across Renfrewshire.
