This project, backed by an investment of £165,000, replaces older equipment that had reached the end of its safe operational life. Fife Council What makes this space stand out is its inclusive design: a wheelchair roundabout, sensory-friendly features, springers, spinners, slides and climbing units. It’s been thoughtfully crafted to welcome children of all ages and abilities.
Councillors involved expressed pride in the development. Linda Erskine underscored the council’s commitment to “good play value for children of different ages and needs”. Meanwhile, Colin Davidson celebrated the new area as a safe, welcoming place where children can “play, learn and grow”.
