Fife Council produced a strategy document for town play parks and play areas - now approved by Fife Council.

LInks, Rossend, Colinswell and Piper Crescent Play Parks are to be saved and upgraded when required.

Fife Council plan is to modernise and invest in some play areas but to remove outdated play equipment from some current play parks once it reaches the end of its life. Instead, these 'play parks' will become areas for play without equipment that requires ongoing maintenance. For our town, this means most of our current play parks will continue to be looked after by Fife Council (all the Links Play Parks, Rossend Play Park, Colinswell Play Park, and Piper Crescent Play Park). The following three play parks will have their equipment removed at the end of its life and replaced by static 'play features', whcih do not require ongoing maintennace. These will be: Seamill Play Park (equipment to be resited soon at Colinswell Play Park), Dick Cres/Broomhill Ave Play Park, and Duncanson Drive Play park. We have been told by Fife Council that local residents will be given some say in how their local play area is to be 'furnished' for use. Local residents might like to get together now to consider what they might want e.g. logs, rocks, trees, bulbs, wildflowers, seats and picnic benches etc.

The public consultation for the Burntisland Community Action Plan (CAP) showed how much local people value our green spaces and many would like to see them improved for people of all ages and for wildlife.

The water feature is now at the end of its life and is no longer operating. Fife Council have delayed a decision on refurbishment. We expect the outcome at the Fife Council Kirkcaldy area Committee in February 2025.
