A new £150,000 play area has officially opened for children.

The new park in Hope Street, Lumphinnans, was officially opened in a ceremony recently but has been operational since the start of the month.

Fife Council describes the park as a 'safe environment' for children of all ages and abilities and features state-of-the-art equipment including sensory and tactile play panels, springers, and seesaws, as well as a carousel, zipline, and climbing nets.

The new play area has replaced equipment that has been removed over the last few years as it reached the end of its safe operational life.

Councillor Alex Campbell, convenor of the Cowdenbeath area committee, 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."
