ABERDEEN City Council has launched a planning application for the build of a £15 million urban park at Queen Street.
The park would be a key element in the redevelopment of Queen Street, which is part of the local authority’s city centre and beach masterplan to transform Aberdeen.
Set to include outdoor seating, informal performance spaces, a terraced garden, a sensory garden, and enhanced street greening, the application comes following several months of consultation with neighbouring organisations and other stakeholders.
Each space within the urban park would perform a range of environmental and social functions which will be categorised by the overarching themes of urban nature, community, heritage, and arts and culture.
The new park would be located on land on the other side of Queen Street from the former police headquarters building. Options for the former police building are currently being reviewed by the council, it added.
