About Riverside Park
Area: 128 acres / 52 hectares
Riverside Park is spread out along the valley of the River Leven and takes in a large area in the geographical centre of the town. Overall it's character is divided between well maintained formal gardens and semi natural woodland. Wide tarmac and blae paths run along the length of the river and connect across to housing areas and link under the two busy roads that span the valley dividing the space into three.
The park is divided into three areas. The eastern end, is now the activity hub for the park containing an African savannah themed destination play park, pump cycle track and a skatepark. The view point opposite Lidl has views over the park North Glenrothes to the Lomond Hills.
The central section is more ornamental with flower beds, displays of bulbs, topiary, duck pond, old stone bridge, a small play park and an arboretum.
The western section is simply woodland, along the river valley.
