Thanks to community effort, Dalry Public Park is now shining a little brighter – literally – thanks to the recent installation of solar-powered lighting, a project funded and carried out by Dalry Community Sports Club (DCSC).
This community-driven initiative was made possible through months of dedicated fundraising by DCSC volunteers, supporters, and local residents. The environmentally friendly solar lighting now illuminates key areas of the park, increasing safety, extending usable hours for local sports and recreational activities, and making the park more accessible during evenings.
A spokesperson from DCSC said: “We’re proud to have completed this project for the benefit of the entire community. Dalry Public Park is a fabulous, shared space, and we wanted to make it as welcoming and safe as possible for everyone.”
The initiative was supported through a combination of NAC grants, fundraising events, donations, and sponsorship from small businesses in Dalry. The solar lighting not only provides a greener alternative to traditional lights but also reduces long-term energy costs and the park’s environmental footprint.
Dalry Community Sports Club continues to encourage community engagement and investment in local facilities, with the club wishing to thank Councillor Ronald Stalker, North Ayrshire Council and local residents, businesses, and volunteers who have all helped bring this project to life.
