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

The £50,000 redevelopment is being jointly funded by the Scottish Government and Fife Council. More than 40 people contributed to the consultation, and their feedback played a key role in shaping the final plans.

The refreshed play area will feature a wide range of inclusive and accessible equipment aimed at children of all ages and abilities. The planned installations include a multi-spinner carousel, agility trail, Crazy Nellie springer, four-person seesaw, and a goal end with a basketball hoop.

Efforts are currently underway to identify and secure additional funding to expand the offering, with the aim of having the full suite of new equipment installed by 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."
