This innovative project, the first of its kind in Scotland and led by South Lanarkshire Council, re-imagined a redundant golf course under the principle of “enhancing what nature would do”, while carefully incorporating the needs of the community into the planning process. The former golf course was highly inaccessible to the local community and acted as a barrier between them and the wider local countryside of Cathkin Country Park. When it closed in 2015, it became a magnet for vandalism and antisocial behaviour. To improve local health outcomes and reduce antisocial behaviour in the park, the needs of the community and the desire to support healthy activity for all was placed at the centre of the greenspace design. This would only be possible with the support of the local community and so the project was designed to be as inclusive of feedback as possible before, during and after the design process.
