Discover the Hidden Secrets of the River Leven! Join the River Park team for Trail in the Park — a FREE family event of exploration, creativity, and hands-on history, as we officially launch the River Parks Programme!
Step into the Past
Follow a pop-up heritage trail through the park uncovering the River Leven’s amazing story — from ancient burials and Medieval Methil to the powerful industries that shaped this land.
Get Hands-On with History
Make prehistoric pots, handle real archaeological artefacts, and explore how people once lived and worked right where you’re standing!
Pop-Up Exhibitions
Three themed stations — Ashgrove (Prehistory), Methil Mill (Medieval), and Methilhill Brea (Industry) — feature old maps, photos, artefacts, and interactive displays for all ages.
Badge-Making & Crafts for Kids: Design your own archaeology-themed badge at each station. Can you collect all 3?
️Shape the FutureThis is more than just a fun day out — it’s your chance to help shape the future of archaeology in the River Park.
Tell us what you want to explore!
Free, family-friendly, and full of surprises. Come and explore the trail that brings the past to life — and help us imagine what comes next!
