A proposed £250,000 inclusive playpark in Castle Douglas may be moved to a new location.
Market Hill came out on top of a community consultation to find the ideal place three years ago.
But Castle Douglas Development Forum wants to know if that is still the case, with Lochside Park another possibility.
They are running a survey to show the council – which is providing half the cost – there is still a need for a facility.
Nearly everyone who has taken part is still in favour of the idea with more than two-thirds saying they would now prefer Lochside Park.
Chairwoman Carolyn Yates said: “The council has, quite rightly, asked us to find out if there is still a need in the town and for that location.
“When we did the community consultation three years ago, there were five locations suggested and Market Hill was the top one.
“There are now only three locations that are suitable so we are consulting only on them.
“People’s use of space has changed after Covid. Because of Covid, we moved the producers’ market from the town centre to Market Hill.
“For that to continue we need that open space, which you wouldn’t have if the inclusive playpark was there.
“We also had the successful food and bike festival and again that made use of the open space at Market Hill.
“The parking is safer at Lochside as it doesn’t have people coming in to park for their shopping or motorbikes going through it.”
The survey is still available to be completed at https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/CastleDouglasInclusivePlaypark and comments can also be made by emailing cddfchairperson@gmail.com
The council has allocated £125,000 for the project with the development forum responsible for finding a similar amount.
The aim is for the majority to be spent on the play equipment with £50,000 going towards a changing places toilet.
Council officials expressed concern last year that only £1,000 had been found with the group’s resources “stretched” due to their response to the coronavirus pandemic. Funding applications had been lodged in a bid to meet the total.
And the development forum is keen to hear from anyone who feels they can help out with the project.
Mrs Yates added: “Anyone who feels they have expertise to offer is welcome to get involved.
“It is a park for everyone, it is not just for children with disabilities.”
