The Royston Road project is a large and wide-ranging project and the making of two new parks as landmarks for the local area is only part of the project's achievements. The aspiration for the parks was that they should be safe local places, which could encompass many activities. They have been created at each end of the Royston Road to link and unify the area. The Spire, which is a landmark in itself, is all that remains of the Townhead Parish Church, which was saved, in 1998, from demolition by local people's action.

It is mostly hard landscape elements with grass and planting. A special new rose (named by a local schoolgirl) is planted at the site, and there are other shrubs, trees, and grass. The main features on the site are hard elements however - there is a line of square concrete bollards, surfaced paths, low ramps, concrete benches, a square pyramid, and feature walls. The area can be used for a large variety of activities from sitting admiring the view and the plants, to jumping from bollard to bollard, or using skates, boards or bikes. The placement of the ambiguous elements allow children to use them freely for invented games and physical challenge. The space has been deliberately kept open so that it inspires a feeling of safety.
