Become a Family MemberThey’ve finally updated this playground ideally placed in front of the dramatic castle and next to Princes St. I’ve seen so many families from all over the world using it and it’s needed a revamp for quite some time. Now there’s a play area for little ones and a three level tower for big ones. It’s more disabled friendly with ground level merry go round you can take a wheelchair or pram onto. There’s sound makers. Ground level trampoline. Stepping stones. There’s a make believe train station ticket office my 6yo was keen to sell me tickets for the next train to London. We’ll return another day to spend more time exploring.

This playground was right by the place where we stayed (premier inn). Awesome playground with a great view of the castle.

A fun little park in the middle of Edinburgh with a great view of the castle.
