Explore a historic 5-acre Aberdeen park featuring iconic whale bone arches, a decorative fountain, and a children's playground ideal for families and dog walkers.

Stewart Park is a cherished public green space in Aberdeen, Scotland, established in 1894 through a bequest by Mrs. Jane Taylor to create a playground for local children. Located in the Hilton area just south of Persley Bridge, this 5-acre park has been welcoming visitors for over 125 years. The park's most distinctive features are its striking whale jaw bone arches, presented as a gift in 1903 by the captain of the Arctic whaler Benbow. Visitors will also discover an ornate fountain designed as a replica of an Italian lavabo, sculptured by local artist Arthur Taylor and dedicated to the park's founding benefactor. The park serves as a wonderful destination for families with its dedicated children's playground and wide-open spaces perfect for exploration. Beyond the main attractions, Stewart Park offers sporting facilities including all-weather tennis courts and marked cricket and football pitches. The park is particularly popular with dog walkers and families seeking winter walks or outdoor recreation. Directly opposite the park lies the Woodies, an old granite quarry that has been transformed into a wooded natural area, extending the outdoor experience. With free entry and dog-friendly amenities, Stewart Park provides an accessible recreational destination for all ages.
