I've now been several times. This is a great park and offers a lot of different types of opportunities. It can be very busy, but even beginners can find space to work on skills. I've seen a lot of cross age support, encouragement, and help making it good environment. There are some very talented people there and can be fun to watch and admire for everyone.

This a great place for adults and children alike, I often come here for a walk with my work and it is always busy. So well used for bikes and boards. So good!

An Edinburgh classic. One of the largest and oldest around here. An excellent bowl section and a couple of different strips of street thrown in for good measure. Some of the size and transition of obstacles here is a bit iffy but for an older park, it ain't half bad. One of the more popular parks in Edinburgh so expect young clueless children on scooters during peak hours. #1000skateparkchallenge #cementurians

An excellent skatepark; big, lots of ramps and bowls. Next to it is a large playground suitable for children up to around 12 years old, and also a large field where I saw dogs running off-leash. Visited in July 2024.
