A swim by jumping over the wall

Saturday's Gala at the new park in Waterfront was busy - many people there and I am sure the organisers will be well pleased. Whether it will lead to an increase in Church membership is another thing altogether.

The park itself is nicely laid out with a good spread of interesting water features and well designed, well planted borders - maybe a wee bit short on benches for folk to have a seat and take in the view - but nevertheless an undeniable improvement on what preceded it. I predict that, once opened, the viewing platform which overhangs the pond will become a favourite spot for local kids to dive from - and once they realise they can take a swim by merely jumping over the wall and fence from West Granton Road....
