The Helix

The Helix was dreamed up in the early noughties, born from the idea of creating an ecopark in the Falkirk area. 350 hectares of land were set aside, with a series of path networks linking the Falkirk and Grangemouth communities. The product of substantial Lottery investment, The Helix then came together in phases, with Helix Park forming the centrepiece anchoring the whole development. Opened in 2013, it’s a tranquil haven that attracts dog walkers, runners, families and skaters. There’s a wealth to see and do at the expansive development, which incorporates The Kelpies, twin 30-metre high steel monuments that dominate the skyline. Recent additions to Helix Park have included a lagoon and splash play area and the gleaming new Plaza Cafe. Suitable for toddlers and up, the Adventure Zone includes a stunning timber play park that’s been imaginatively designed. Art and community projects are regularly hosted at The Helix, including a beekeeping society and Meet The Species events. 27km of shared access pathways linking 16 communities now include sustainable LED lighting that runs for around 14km. Buggy walks; easter kayaking; Earth Hour. There’s always something happening at The Helix. For lovers of the outdoors, there’s no better place to be.
