Project Description

Strichen community Park Company was formed in 1994 to take ownership of and develop the site of a derelict brick works into a Community Park.  The park provides a recreational, social and environmental resource to a wide cross section of the local community.

The project is to develop the park for community benefit by building a café and interpretive centre on the site of the original derelict Gate Lodge, providing a year-round meeting place, recreation facility, art and craft retail outlet and tourist attraction.

“We thank LEADER for their support in our project.  This funding is a massive boost to our group, to realise our dream to give the village the finishing touch to the community park.  We are sure this will be a great benefit to the people in Strichen and the many visitors who visit the park and village.  Because of your help we would like to think that any other funders will have confidence in our project, which we hope will see us up and running in the near future.”
