junior parkrun, SW Edinburgh

South West Edinburgh 20 Minute Neighbourhoods is looking to gauge interest in a junior parkrun in SW Edinburgh; this is a weekly 2km run (not a race) for children aged 4-14. There are currently similar events in the Meadows and Inverleith but no provision on the south of Edinburgh. Please sign up if you are interested to hear more or can help volunteer

SW20 (South West Edinburgh 20 Minute Neighbourhoods), a group of SW Edinburgh residents, in conjunction with Longstone Community Council, is seeking to establish the level of interest in a local junior parkrun.

Next Saturday with Edible Estates in Oxgangs - Inspired by the project they’ve supported at 3 Oxgangs Drive, they would like groups of neighbours to come along who would like to improve the greenspace around their blocks.

Also if there are any communal spaces people would like to develop they’d like to look at those too.

Note - due to funding they are limited to supporting projects on council housing land.
