ROBERTSON Construction is to begin work on the creation of a new beach park and events field as part of Aberdeen City Council’s beach improvement project.
Forming part of the biggest redevelopment of the beach area for 35 years, the work is part of a wider £50 million programme to create a transformational waterfront destination which will benefit businesses, residents, and visitors.
A temporary closure of the Beach Boulevard between Links Road and the Esplanade will take place from 6pm on Sunday 29 September 2024 as part of the City Centre and Beachfront Masterplan.
The beach park will include an ‘iconic’ play feature, the Rope Factory, which was developed through workshops with local school children and young people and was inspired by the city’s rope-making heritage.
The events field will have an amphitheatre and will be able to host festivals, larger concerts, and gatherings. Other works being carried out at the beach include new footpaths, viewing areas, a new street furniture on Broadhill, and the demolition of the former beach leisure centre.
A temporary closure of the Beach Boulevard between Links Road and the Esplanade will take place from September 29 to allow work to begin on sites.
