For Cark Park use EH12 8GZ. Car park is to the left on this road through the yellow hight barrier. Plenty car spaces. Great to access on foot. Local football club that you can hire out. Paved paths and gravel paths. Great children's play area. Skate park. Cricket pitch, basketball court and football fields. Great open spaces for dogs and walks. Great vast open spaces for families, picnics or sitting in the sun. Plenty of activities one could get involved in. I did not see water dispensers or public bathrooms.
