Friends of Overtoun Park is a voluntary community group.  
Our aim is to:

• to improve the existing facilities in the park
  
• protect and enhance the natural beauty of the park
• to encourage more people in the community to visit and enjoy the park's facilities

To improve the existing facilities in the park and to attract more people to the park, Friends of Overtoun Park have

• installed metal railings around the play area to ensure the safety of children and to stop dogs fouling in the play area. Funding for this was awarded by Pride of Place
  
• worked with Community Payback Team to improve the BMX track and make it more challenging with the aim of attracting more BMXers to the track
  
• installed more waste bins in the park with thanks to Pride of Place who funded this project

We are currently working with South Lanarkshire Council to update and improve the play equipment.
