Murrayfield Community Council

Contractors have been appointed to construct the relocated play park in Roseburn Park.  Friends of Roseburn Park have been advocating for and consulting on this for several years.  The Edinburgh City Council funded project has a proposed construction period of 28 August - 18 October 2018.

Congratulations to Anna Rowell and Ruridgh Mcmeddes for their paper on lessons learned in CCWEL/Rejuvenating Roseburn at:

Edinburgh Rugby (the professional club) have submitted a planning application for a 7,800 capacity stadium on Murrayfield's back pitches.

The relationship between this development and the ejection of Murrayfield Wanderers (the non-professional club) from Murrayfield is unclear.  Murrayfield Wanderers are controversially interested in relocating to Roseburn Park.
