Following a public consultation with local residents, Fife Council has unveiled the new design for Woodend Park play area in Cardenden.

The £50,000 play park is being funded by the Scottish Government and Fife Council.

Over 40 people took part in the consultation and the final design takes on board their suggestions and choices.

The new design is made up of a variety of equipment which will mean there will be something suitable and accessible for everyone, including a multi spinner carousel, agility trail, Crazy Nellie springer, four-person seesaw and a goal end with basketball hoop.

We are in the process of identifying and securing funding to deliver the additional equipment and hope to have it installed early next year.

Councillor Linda Erskine, spokesperson for communities, said: “A huge thank you to everyone who took part in the consultation to let us know what they would like to see in the new play area. The new equipment will be suitable and is accessible for everyone. I look forward to work starting next year with the new equipment installed, hopefully by spring 2026, weather permitting.”
