text: I went there yesterday and can't reconstruct what the original poster means. I couldn't see any new road parallel to Dumbiedykes Rd or new flats.
  The SKELF park is about a 100 metres further south, at the crags sports centre. There is an area cleared between the sports centre and the steps leading to Queen's drive. It's currently just a clearing in the woodland, but no construction activity as far as I could see.
