Eliburn Park — Attraction in Scotland

Nice little urban park. Reservoir is rather smaller than you might think a "reservoir" would be. Several platforms for anglers around the edge and a dedicated anglers' car park (although the gate was locked when we visited). Footpaths around the reservoir and through the woods can get pretty muddy in places. There are a couple of maps of the park posted (at the main car park and near the reservoir) but it'd be useful to have a leaflet for the pathways away from the reservoir circuit. Football pitches adjacent to the main car park and a good sized kids play park nearby with a picnic benches. There is also an exercise area for adults/older kids but most of the equipment was missing when we visited (possibly removed over the winter months). Swans, Mallards and Moorhens on the reservoir and a little waterfall on the Neil Burn beside...

It is particularly good for your wee footballers, as there are permanent goal posts. Good for wildlife walks and bird spotting, including resident swans. There is a stream that runs through it that lends to a wee tiny waterfall under a foot bridge and into a lovely wee lochan, with a great walk all around and fishing decks at many intervals. An Important note is there are no toilet facilities and take your own snacks / picnic or disposable BBQ - Be responsible, take your rubbish to the bins provided or deposit on your way home or...
