Explore a historic town park featuring the River Eden, outdoor fitness equipment, and a play park perfect for families.

Haugh Park is a classic town park spanning 7.4 acres in the centre of Cupar, offering visitors a peaceful outdoor escape with plenty to discover. The River Eden flows through the park with a tree-lined walkway running alongside it, creating an ideal setting for walks and jogs. Wildlife enthusiasts may even spot otters in the river during daytime hours. The park boasts several distinctive features that appeal to families and visitors of all ages. A grand war memorial topped with a bronze, winged angel-like sculpture serves as an important landmark, while a beautifully preserved 117-year-old bandstand hosts concerts throughout the summer months. Recent additions include a wildflower meadow bursting with colourful flowers that attract bumblebees and butterflies, creating a vibrant natural display. Families will appreciate the dedicated play park and outdoor fitness equipment available to all visitors. With mature trees, benches, and picnic tables scattered throughout, Haugh Park provides the perfect setting for picnics, leisurely strolls, and outdoor recreation. The park's location at the confluence of two rivers, reflected in the ancient Pictish name "Cupar" meaning "where the two rivers meet," adds historical significance to this cherished community space.
