PREPARATORY works for the start of the first phase in the transformation of Aberdeen’s beachfront is underway.
Security hoarding has been erected around the former beach leisure centre for site safety before the main demolishing works start later this autumn.
The area will be the focus of the short-term intervention of the beach masterplan which will focus on developing a beach park, an events park, and new landscaping and structures on Broadhill.
Proposals for the beach park include a play park, sports area and pump track, canopies, a cycle track, an amphitheatre, events field, and hub building. Broadhill would be re-landscaped and include new structures from which the revamped beach area can be viewed.
Councillor Alex McLellan, convener of finance and resource at Aberdeen City Council, said, “The beachfront redevelopment is a key commitment of Aberdeen City Council, and will transform the area, ensuring it is somewhere citizens can visit and enjoy moving forward.
“Plans for the first phase, the beach park, will be considered by council in August – committing investment to our beachfront and creating a space for families and young people to enjoy.”
