ELGT are working with the Thriving greenspaces team to make improvements to 3 small parks in Leith. This includes Mill Lane, Junction Street and Dalmeny Street Parks. We are working with the The Royal Caledonian Horticultural Society to run community planting days in November.

We're huge fans of Skelf! And always surprised by how many people haven't gone along for a shot - it's only a 30 min, almost traffic-free cycle from Leith Links 🚲
Epic scenes at the SKELF park. Kids of all ages keeping active at this superb facility
Great atmosphere, with everyone checking on each other if there’s an “off”
Public luxury FTW!
