Paul Vaughan, Head of Communities and Neighbourhooods said: “We want to encourage everyone to become more active and enjoy physical activity, sport and leisure.  The active families programme, along with Fife Cycle Park will allow this to happen in a fun and safe environment, using some of our green space across Fife.”

"We encourage families to take part in these activities and look forward to welcoming them back to our outdoor spaces, but we’d also like to remind everyone to continue observing physical distancing, regular hand washing, and use a common sense approach.”

Fife Cycle Park will also re-open from 15th July.  To help support families during the summer, activities at the Park will be FREE during the school holidays.  More details on how to book activities will be available soon.
