MORRISON Construction has commenced work on the £5 million refurbishment of Inverness’ Northern Meeting Park.
One of three projects along the city’s River Ness to be supported with almost £20 million in funding from the UK Government, the project is due for completion in December 2024.
The Highland Council initiative will see the refurbishment and preservation of the park’s Victorian grandstand; improved access to city centre greenspace; enhanced sporting and cultural facilities; a new community pavilion; and improved infrastructure for local and major events.
Councillor Ian Brown, the Highland Council’s Inverness city and area leader, said, “The park is a significantly important part of Inverness and the wider Highlands’ history – known for decades as the place to meet and gather to enjoy sporting activities and events. I am proud that the council’s plan, for refurbishment of the grandstand and improved facilities for use by future users of the park, has come to fruition with thanks to the levelling up funding.”
