Also, Westburn House, a historic building designed by architect Archibald Simpson in 1839, is located within the park.
For those looking to spend time outdoors, Westburn Park is the perfect place for walks, picnics, or recreational activities. It is easily accessible and provides a peaceful atmosphere, ideal for relaxing or...
