Dalmeny DIY Decent little space to skate. The marble top ledge is good and the couple permanent curbs are fun. The wooden pallets and crates here won't last long. Would be good if the locals put a concrete quarter pipe in! #1000skateparkchallenge #cementurians

13th August. Same as last time, all good. Quiet, tidy, no obvious dog messes despite there being lots of dogs. Kids playpark separated by a railing from the open grass area, which had benches and very nice big planter boxes. Under 5 minutes walk to Leith Walk, which has loads of coffee shops

Nice park not far from Easter Road and Leith Walk. You have a nice playground, basketball court and makeshift skate park on one side and on the other one a nice stretch of grass where dogs are fooling around with couple of benches. Both sides are clean.

A dog friendly park, great to arrange to meet your friends and their puppers. The skate park and play area looks great fun too.
