The Lyne Burn Green Network extends over three main greenspaces: Rex & Woodmill Park and Touch, which are visually and physically disconnected from each other. Along the primary and secondary paths new lines of trees lead visitors into the park providing continuity throughout the different spaces. In the adjacent residential area of Touch groups of tree planting add variety and interest.
All tree planting has been ‘marked’ through brightly pink painted tree stakes to add colour but also link the three different areas together. Local residents and businesses can adopt these newly planted trees creating a positive link.
The new social spaces include regular seating throughout the parks, exercise boards, a new entrance area with basketball and informal seating.
The improved and extended community garden has been co-designed with the local Grow and Play group providing new paths, seating areas, bike parking, raised beds and an orchard with wildflower planting.
Fife Coast and Countryside Trust delivered community events which included bulb and tree planting with local residents and businesses creating an additional strong connection between the community and the new improvements.
