[edit] Baxter Park
Baxter Park (56°28′19″N 2°57′04″W / 56.472°N 2.951°W) is in the eastern part of Craigiebank. A £5 million refurbishment was completed at Baxter Park. Queen Elizabeth II presided over its official reopening in July, 2007.[1] In 2009, the park was awarded Green Flag status.[2]
In recent years there has been security concerns about the park after a series of violent attacks. Measures considered to increase security have been CCTV cameras, more patrol officers and better lighting.[3][4][5]
