New Splash Pad coming to Burntisland

Fife Council has been working with Burntisland Community Council over the past year and is pleased to confirm plans to replace the existing splash pad at the Links with a brand-new wet play area.

The current splash pad has reached the end of its safe operational life, and the new facility will include a modern play area and a new plant room to support its operation.

Councillor Ian Cameron, Convener of the Kirkcaldy Area Committee, said: “It’s often said that the Council doesn’t listen – but in this case, we have. The community made its voice heard, and we’re pleased to now share the design for the new splash pad.

“The total cost of the project is £275,000, with funding coming from Fife Council, Fife Environment Trust, the Scottish Government, and a successful community crowdfunder.”

Councillor Linda Erskine, Fife Council Spokesperson for Communities, added:

“The new design reflects the community’s wish for a fun, inclusive space with maximum play value.

“We’re also exploring a new wheelchair-accessible roundabout elsewhere on the Links, as the current location doesn’t meet the space requirements for modern equipment.”

The new splash pad is expected to open in Spring 2026.
