Update April 2019: My favourite public garden in Perth and for miles around, a testament to the sucess of the the community group that maintains it, with benches galore to enjoy the heathers. We love to picnic in the sheltered spot beside the box hedges. Circular lawn in front of the gym great for games. Very pleasant walk along the Tay taking in the heather garden. From the gym get the key to the burial ground to see the 17C memorial to first Earl of Kinnoull inside the remains of the church. You can make this walk circular by starting at e.g South Inch car park walking over the railway bridge, going north through the gardens, over the Old (Smeatons) Bridge and coming back south along the pavemented west side of the Tay. The walk can be extended by looping round the North Inch (park) at the old bridge. This would be buggy friendly except for the steps on the town side of the railway bridge.
