A HUGE new attraction could soon open on a beach in the UK – with a 'play factory' for kids and an outdoor performance area.

The multi-million-pound project, called the Beach Masterplan, is part of a regeneration of Aberdeen Beach.

The main feature is a huge play area for kids called The Rope Factory, with images showing climbing structures, swings and slides.

There will be interactive displays as well as activities and events taking place at the park.

A games area and a skatepark could be included, designed to encourage younger guests.

A huge events park will also be part of the project, called the Beach Ballroom, which will have outdoor concerts and festivals.

A second building called the "hub" will create a "focal point" for the park.

The huge project could cost as much as £441 million to complete.

The Aberdeen City Council website states online: "The City Centre and Beach Masterplan is designed to capitalise on the built and natural assets of the area which is a tourism priority in its own right and will continue to be in demand as people seek safe, outdoor, wildlife, and active experiences.

"The beach area is also an intrinsic component of the Aberdeen Coastal Trail, and the wide variety of tourism offer that includes nature, golf, maritime history, and dolphin watching."

The first phase is to "upgrade the green spaces" while

"The applications said the beach park area, at the south end of the site, will focus on a variety of landscaped play and sports areas with built structures including a gateway building, a hub building, two canopies, and a play structure called The Rope Factory.

"The proposed car park and junction would be from Links Road and would provide dedicated blue badge parking spaces to the beach park area.

"The proposed events park, at the Beach Ballroom end of the site, would have several structures including a canopy and an amphitheatre building."

Locals on social media were conflicted, with some loving it.

One said: "Will be a massive improvement on what currently is there which is not very attractive to visitors."

Another said: "It will look lovely when it's complete I'm sure."

However, not everyone was convinced – one woman commented: "Looks nice. But not sure I believe it’ll happen."
