Riverside Park, Glenrothes

Riverside Park is a large town park situated in Glenrothes, Fife. The park straddles the River Leven valley riparian corridor, comprising significant areas of woodland, grassed playing fields and wetlands. The Lothrie Burn flows through the park as a tributary connecting to the River Leven.

Riverside Park has numerous pleasant woodland walks, floral gardens, a pond, community orchard and an arboretum. The park also has several equipped play areas, numerous town art sculptures, adventure play areas, skateboard ramps, seasonal toilets and fitness equipment. Some of the park's town art was gifted to Glenrothes by its twin town Boblingen, Germany.

History
The park previously formed much of the landscaped grounds and gardens associated with Leslie House. This was the former home of the Earl of Rothes, from the time of John Leslie, 1st Duke & 7th Earl of Rothes until the time of Norman Leslie, 19th Earl of Rothes. Leslie House was substantially damaged by fire in 2009, but is currently undergoing restoration and upon completion will once again be a significant landmark in the western portion of Riverside Park.
