I was surprised how nice it was. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12822#post-208460 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 13:45:29 +0000 kaputnik 208460@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That's great news. Last time we went, September or Octoberish, there was sadly a lot of vandalism damage, kicked over walls, burnt hedges, smashed benches, ripped out plants and hedges ruined by jumping through / on them.</p> <p>All likely the work of the usual "bored teens" suspects but I hope some of that £3.8m goes towards some improved security. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12822#post-208457 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 13:38:41 +0000 chdot 208457@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/saughton-park-set-for-3-8m-makeover-after-lottery-win-1-4000712" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/saughton-park-set-for-3-8m-makeover-after-lottery-win-1-4000712</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12822#post-181927 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 09:01:13 +0000 chdot 181927@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Saughton Park restoration project - Public Consultation</p> <p><a href="http://andrewburns.blogspot.com/2015/02/saughton-park-restoration-project.html" rel="nofollow">http://andrewburns.blogspot.com/2015/02/saughton-park-restoration-project.html</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12822#post-159228 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 16:57:18 +0000 chdot 159228@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://andrewburns.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/saughton-park-project.html" rel="nofollow">http://andrewburns.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/saughton-park-project.html</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12822#post-153737 Fri, 16 May 2014 10:50:56 +0000 tarmac jockey 153737@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Just received an email:</p> <p>We are launching an exciting community archaeological investigation at Saughton Park this week which features loads of community and family opportunities for people to get involved in.
