This is a nice little park for taking a wander. Situated just below Royal Terrace, so right opposite if you’re staying at the Voco (ex Crowne Plaza) with several entrances. London Road the other side, at the foot of the park. Bear in mind this park is on a very steep hill so the paths can be extremely steep; not one for the old people or the unfit. Good for your cardio though. Heart health. Seems to be some sort of sculpture trail, with wooden animals. They look a bit like mini totems. Park itself not too sculpted; plenty of trees and lots of greenery. Restaurant in the corner looked decent, with outside dining. I would have eaten there had I more time. Some of the paths are very secluded and isolated, despite size of park. I wouldn’t be so keen to walk through here in the dark. Anything could lurk - muggers, werewolves etc
 Close to the city centre. A quiet and secluded spot amidst bustle. Maybe eat your lunch here if you work nearby?

A wonderful wee park that's great for running and taking a small break from the city. It has a incredible amount of wildlife in the space especially with the birds and has a few bits of outdoor gym equipment around the middle path. There's a nice small sculpture trail on the lower path and in late march-april the park has some of the most spectacular daffodils in all of Edinburgh!.

A great wooded park within easy reach of the city centre and worth a wonder before we head up to Carlton Hill. Local residents always friendly to talk to and happy to chat about what is worth seeing, visiting in the area. A great place to visit if you like dogs and like a friendly hello from a furry friend! đŸ¶
