Art for Pasley Park

Though not a TRA project itself, it may interest you to know that following our consultation session (run by the TRA for the history signage project) that a decision has been made on the artistic seating for Pasley Park.


Reflecting the history of the site, and following a final vote at a recent Friends of Pasley Park meeting, one of the 'ostrich' options has been selected to be developed.

It should be a great addition to the park!

There will be a further meeting on 4th April from 6.30 pm at the Cuming Museum, where a clearer idea of the finished product will be presented.
