Wilton Lodge Park is the major public park in Hawick, Scottish Borders, offering a comprehensive range of attractions and activities for families. The park's main highlight is its modern, inclusive play park developed as part of a major regeneration project, featuring multiple zones with equipment suitable for all age groups and abilities, complemented by fully accessible wet pour surfaces adorned with local heritage designs including river motifs and common riding artwork. Beyond the play park, visitors can explore the park's diverse facilities including the on-site museum hosted by Live Borders, a restored walled garden, scenic woodland walks, and an extensive network of cycle routes enhanced through Scottish Government funding. The park's long boundary along the River Teviot provides picturesque river walks, while the Pavilion Cafe offers refreshment options. Wilton Lodge Park is the only park in the Scottish Borders to hold Green Flag status, reflecting its high standards of maintenance and management. The venue regularly hosts family-friendly events from March through October, including Easter egg hunts, fireworks displays, science festival days, and summer band stand programmes. The park is highly accessible with ample car parking at The Common Haugh Car Park and connections to comprehensive pedestrian, cycling, and public transport networks.
