The Friends of Craigtoun Story

About us

The Friends of Craigtoun was formed in 2012 with the aim of securing the future of Craigtoun Country Park as an amenity for the people of St Andrews, Fife and visitors to the area.

Following lengthy discussions with Fife Council it was agreed that the Friends should take over the running of all facilities in the park and, in a partnership arrangement the Council, would maintain the grounds and assist with grants/investment. Cut to 2022 and the story gets even better. With the help of council grants and external grants/donations, further investment has been made in the park including the complete re-furbishment of the Rio Grande Miniature Railway and the installation of a free to use trim trail with zip wires and all inclusive play equipment. The pathway leading from the car park to the Cafe and Ticket Office has also been tarmacked, making the park more accessible for wheelchair users.

THE BOATS ARE BACK!

Our 2022 season started on Saturday 2nd April and, after a daily opening period for Easter, our Seasonal Attractions are now running at weekends only until June.  For details of all our opening dates up to the end of the season in October, please visit our Opening Hours page.

COMPETITION TIME!

We are delighted to announce that we have a new activity to add to our list of Seasonal Attractions!  Our winter workforce have turned the area beside the Train Station into a Go-Kart track in preparation for the 2022 season kicking off in April and we now have a fleet of 12 Go-karts at the ready.

OUR SEASONAL ATTRACTIONS WILL BE RUNNING ON SAT 7TH & SUN 8TH MAY

Our seasonal attractions will next be running on Saturday 7th & Sunday 8th May. RAFA will have their stall set up in the park on Sunday 8th May only as they commemorate VE Day.
