Hutton Playpark

What’s happening in Hutton Play Park?

Residents of Hutton may have noticed unusual activity at the park. The Community Council are pleased to announce that refurbishment was completed during September/October. A team from Scottish Borders Council power-washed and repainted all the metal equipment (swings, climbing frames, slides etc).

In addition a team of volunteers have spruced up all the wooden equipment and the fence. The fence is a bit shoogly but we’re hopeful a coat of preservative will extend its life until it is replaced.

We’d like give our sincere thanks to the Fab Four volunteers for their hard work: Billy and Daryn with their ingenuous solutions and Shirley and Dave for working apace so that the whole job was completed in a morning. We’re grateful to Alan for putting up the ‘wet paint’ signs we’d all forgotten about. Fantastic teamwork resulted in a remarkable improvement and that’s before the SBC team got started on the swings etc!

The park will be completely replaced in 2028/29 so this refurbishment is a temporary fix in the meantime to make the park more appealing to all who use it. We hope you’ll agree that the Hutton team did great work – of course the cream cakes helped!
