Memories of Starbank Park
The Friends of Starbank Park would love to find wedding photos taken there. Other Park memories are always welcome, especially as the 125th anniversary celebrations are on 18 June. Please get in touch if you can share any special photos taken in the park.
Poster Art from Victoria Primary P2 for our nature trail
Here’s just a little of the brilliant artwork produced by P2 for our Hans Christian Anderson information boards. Can you spot the pea? The Snow Queen looks very scary with her face blue with cold! Many thanks to all involved!
We’ve raised over 70% of what we need for the Nature Trail. Please help us to raise the rest by donating through MyParkScotland at http://www.mypark.scot/projects/childrens-nature-trail/. Did you know you also can donate by texting FOSP50 £5 to 70070?
Lots of flowers
There’s loads of colour still in the park. Some of the daffodils are fading but some still look wonderful, the tulips are terrific and the primula just go on and on. And of course, that’s not all 
Sunshine and Snow, Weeding and Painting
Busy morning in the park with lots done and lots of weather. We were a bit taken aback when it started to snow as we were packing up.

We plant some plum and cherry trees in 2014 and we’re hoping for our first crop this year.
