Explore 22 acres of wooded greenspace featuring formal gardens, a sunken pond, play park, and woodland walking trails through a scenic burn valley.

Letham Glen is a large publicly accessible park spanning 22 acres in Leven, offering a diverse mix of natural and formal attractions. The site stretches from Windygates Road to the northeast corner of Leven, featuring a wooded valley with scenic burn-side paths connected by bridges that provide access to the wider countryside path network. The park is divided into distinct zones. The northern section showcases natural woodland landscapes ideal for exploration and nature walks, while the southern area features formal gardens with ornamental bedding displays, a sunken garden, benches, and a decorative pond with a dove cot. Families will find a play park and outdoor fitness equipment throughout the grounds. Letham Glen is suitable for all ages and abilities, with accessible facilities including public toilets, ample car parking, and well-maintained pathways. The park's rich history dates back to 1925 when retired farmer John Letham gifted £1000 to Leven Town Council to secure the land for the community. Today, it serves as a perfect destination for family walks, picnics, active play, and enjoying nature, with connections to the Levenmouth Discovery Trails.

Beautiful location, nice to see the gardens being maintained by a team who clearly cares deeply for the location. The Glen itself has such a magical vibe to it too, I've been here quite a few times and I don't tire of it. Knocking one star off though because of the amount of trash all around the glen and surrounding woods, it's really sad to see. Get some folk on community service to clear it up now and then, and the nature may help them out too 👍💚

Gorgeous park in the center of Leven, loads of green space for kids, a play park, a craft center and even an accessible inclusive swing! A relaxing walk through the woodlands with wonderful creek views and a small waterfall at the halfway point! Absolutely wonderful park! Well taken care of and well loved by everyone in the area.
