The much anticipated start on the new multi-sports 3G (or third generation) pitch for Malleny Park in Balerno began with the installation of security fencing on Monday 25 August 2014. This was a number of weeks behind schedule due to the requirement for archaeological testing (part of the planning permission process). Fortunately, no Roman coins or vases were found and so the successful contractor Allsports are now on site and work is commencing.
The new artificial grass facility is expected to open in November 2014 and provides a year round, all weather pitch area for Secondary School pupils at Balerno High School (and for local Primary School children attending Dean Park Primary) as well as for local clubs and community organisations.
