The Edinburgh Canal StrategyThe Canal HubsHarrison Parkarrison Park is a relaxed green waterside space for people. To optimise the potential it is important to establish aH waterway neighbourhood beside the park. This should include visitor and residential moorings, activities linkingthe park and support for a café and other commercial moorings.However, it is important to protect what currently makes Harrison Park the place it is, and any development long the canal must ensure that itrespects character of the park and respect existing neighbourhood amenity. Any change to the canal side at Harrison Park should be limited to accessimprovements or minor alterations to cater for canal uses.It is recognised that the existing facilities block for visiting canalboats at Harrison Park is of poor quality and needs upgrading.The Strategy has identified an alternative location for this block,including the creation of a service mooring. Service blocksare provided by British Waterways Scotland as part of theoperational management of the canal.Harrison Park © Grant Ritchie www.photosofedinburgh.co.uk34 December 2011 City of Edinburgh Council City Development
