This means the land can only be used for \u2018heritage\u2019, \u2018educational\u2019 and \u2018charitable\u2019 purposes, as described in the Trust\u2019s constitution. Aberdeen City Council have been made aware of this evidence, but up to now they have not been able to comprehensively answer the questions it raises. Therefore 3 members of their campaign are willing to take the council to court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On\u00a08th April 2026 their crowdfunding appeal through the Crowd Justice platform was launched. They are reaching out to all individual supporters to respond to their appeal and also to organisations whose aims and ethos align with their campaign to protect a unique, ecologically bio-diverse greenspace which benefits both the local community and the wildlife it supports.<br><br>If you would like to donate towards their cause, please do so below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crowdjustice.com\/case\/protect-st-fitticks-park\">https:\/\/www.crowdjustice.com\/case\/protect-st-fitticks-park<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their website > <a href=\"https:\/\/saintfittickstorry.com\/\">Friends Of St. Fittick&#8217;s Park \u2013 Advocating for the preservation of St. Fittick&#8217;s Park<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"2798\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fofdp.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/St-Fitticks-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"St Fitticks Park\" class=\"wp-image-2798\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fofdp.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/St-Fitticks-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.fofdp.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/St-Fitticks-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fofdp.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/St-Fitticks-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.fofdp.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/St-Fitticks-768x767.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fofdp.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/St-Fitticks.jpg 1081w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>8th April 2026 Friends of St Fitticks Park got in touch recently to ask us to share this with our friend members and local community to help raise awareness of the threat facing their local Park and to support the legal challenge which they are launching to prevent its industrialisation.
