The newly refurbished play area within Christie Park in Leven is now complete and open.
Fife Council is delighted to announce the completion of the £165,000 play area which is a safe environment for children of all ages and abilities and features state of the art equipment including climbing units with slides, springers, spinners and a wheelchair roundabout.
This new play area has replaced equipment that has gradually been removed over the last few years as it reached the end of its safe operational life.
Councillor Linda Erskine, Spokesperson for Communities, said: "I’m incredibly proud to see this new play area open, which has been made possible through the council’s investment in our community. 
“As a council we’re committed to providing good play value for children of different ages and needs, and to make sure that our public parks and the Kingdom’s greenspace continues to provide financially sustainable and varied opportunities for outdoor play.
“Our commitment to inclusivity shines in this thoughtfully designed space, featuring accessible play equipment, sensory friendly elements, and a welcoming environment for children of diverse abilities.
“We believe it will be a cherished destination for families seeking a fun day out for many years to come.”
Councillor Colin Davidson, Convenor of the Levenmouth Area Committee added: “I’m thrilled that this new play area is now open, giving children the opportunity to play, learn, and grow in a safe and welcoming environment. We know how important these spaces are for families, and we’re excited to see the positive impact this new play area will have for years to come."
The new play area was funded by Fife Council and money received from the Scottish Government along with funding from the Community Renewal Fund approved by the Levenmouth Area Committee in November 2023.
