Become a Family MemberWide open space, dog-friendly, decent views of Edinburgh and the sea minus the tourists. Next door to Holyrood park there is the option to join the tourists at Arthur’s seat too, if you want. 😄
I come here to run with my dog, there's plenty of space.
Good place to catch the sun. Mostly free parking on nearby streets. Has a large playground for children and also has a quiet and peaceful footpath to catch amazing city and sea views.
Very clean and well kept park. There is more than ample parking available. There is a paved trail connecting the park and ride, playground, basketball courts to the athletic complex and baseball fields. There are Porter Johns and a pavilion as well as a water fountain. Very quiet and peaceful. It doesn't get too crowded, but I prefer the park opposite the park and ride because it is more quiet and secluded there
Has amazing views but a bit of a walk to get too in the first place, I tend to end up here after walking too far up the tar road
