Gateside Community Association Park sub-committee are raising funds to enable the Gateside playpark to be upgraded in 2025/6. We have shared the plans with the local community and agreed on the final design (March 2024).
We are currently away news of our funding applications for £45, 000 and we hope to have news by the end of March 2025. The park is scheduled by FC for upgrade during the FY 2025/6. We are so close!
Our next event is 26 Nov 2024 - Reya Tandoori night (Leslie) - come and eat and 50% of meal cost is donated to us!
Funds raised from this event will contribute to our CrowdFunder campaign to raise £4300 which will hopefully allow us to access £40, 000 from FCC Communities Foundation Fund. https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/gatesidepark-renovation

Nov 2023 update - we have received planning options from Fife Council and will share these via the Gateside Park fb group - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552340754296.
Fife Council have also allocated us £50k from a Scottish Gov funding pot they will have for 2025/26 so we are a third of the way on our journey! We are super excited!
We are a small community who in recent years have lost our school & pub. We have a village hall which remains our centre of activity as well as our play park which currently is looking sad & run down.
We are raising funds for updated park equipment which will also make our park more inclusive & accessible to all ages in our community.
We understand how outdoor play is vital to the physical, social & emotional development of young people as well as being crucial to health and well-being of all ages.
* Charities pay a small fee for our service. Find out how much it is and what we do for it.
