Tay Valley has developed a Park Plan for a new development of public outdoor space in the area represented on the map below. The site is bounded by Narrows Lock Road to the East, Stanley Road to the South, private property owners to the West and the North, including the North Burgess solar farm operation.

- Sustainability,
- Inclusiveness,
- Accessibility,
- Age-friendliness,
- Level of maintenance,
- Flexibility of use, and
- Universal design principles to promote participatory, ecologically sensitive, and comfortable experiences, among other goals)
