A comprehensive all-ages playground earning double thumbs up, featuring two pirate ships, multiple zip lines, and sand play areas.

Earning the coveted double thumbs up rating, Leith Links delivers a comprehensive playground experience for all ages. Two pirate ship structures of different sizes offer themed adventure play, while multiple zip lines (including a larger one) provide thrills. The varied equipment spans sand play areas with toddler-specific structures, climbing nets and boulders, basket swing, trampoline, and roundabout. Separate sections ensure younger and older children find age-appropriate activities. Located within a larger park offering ample open running space, the playground includes picnic tables and nearby toilet facilities. A tram connection provides convenient access. Even in bitter cold, children remain enthusiastically engaged—a testament to the playground's appeal.

Nice place, clean and newish fir a playpark. Some of the apparatus is a little scary for the parents of younger children. Good space.

It’s an ok park, not as well kept as others we’ve been to in edinburgh. The play area is relatively clean, and has a sandpit for the younger kids. The downside to this park though is only on street parking compared to a car park, and we also couldn’t find a toilet.

This is a decent park equipped with playground facilities for children. Very large surroundings with fresh air from all sides. Although some of the grasses need better trimming, the kids are generally happy to play here.
