The City of Edinburgh Council and SVA are looking at locations across the city and are hoping to secure funding for permanent beach courts. Portobello is their preferred location.
In Portobello the courts could be situated on the beach, or within Straiton Place Park. Concerns over tidal issues and beach cleaning mean the park is more likely and an indicative drawing has been produced: View indicative drawing (PDF - opens in new window).
The permanent courts would be available to all: local people; local schools as well as club members and established beach volleyball players.
A Regional Development Officer would work to enhance school/club links, create new and quality opportunities for young people to play volleyball and increase accessibility to volleyball for people from the local community.
Portobello Community Council is keen to hear what you think about these proposals. Please use the form below or write to secretary@portobellocc.org
