In early 2006 Teenrek were invited to visit King Edward Park in Lockerbie to consult with a Dumfries & Galloway Council, Combined Services’ officer who was represented a local community group. The group, were in the process of transforming their local park through fundraising and consultation to meet the needs of local children and young people.

Funds were available and it was decided that a Teenrek Combination Goal End would provide the opportunity for older children to play sports in a safe environment close to the smaller children’s play area which was already developed by the group and council in partnership. The Goal End was installed in the summer.

In early 2008, the continued success of the groups ability to raise funds led to further consultation about how the success of the Goal End could be the expanded upon. The flexibility and modularity of the Teenrek equipment meant that the existing Goal End could be incorporated into a new larger sports area.

The result of this consultation and flexibility led to Teenrek being able to design and manufacture a bespoke solution to meet both the needs of the young people and the budget of the group. The installation is now scheduled for late summer.
