Access to the park from this entrance had caused problems for people with buggies and wheelchairs due to the presence of a large pothole and lack of access around a gate, as noted this April. As of today, both issues are now sorted!
The pothole
now filled
And a new path around the gate.
There are several large puddles that used to accumulate after heavy rain, but I have dug small drainage ditches with a spade to allow them to empty (a very low-tech solution) and so now the Cowgate road entrance is much more wheelchair and buggy friendly!
