Southwood play area, Glenrothes officially opened

THE new play area within Southwood in Glenrothes is now complete and officially open.

Fife Council is delighted to announce the completion of the £100,000 play area which is a safe environment for children of all ages and abilities and features state of the art equipment including multi-unit, springies, spinners, roundabout and toddler unit.

This new play area has replaced equipment that has been removed 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.”
