PARKS AND GARDENS
Aberdeen has six City Parks, seven
Local Parks, 32 neighbourhood parks
and many more green spaces and play
areas in and around the City.
Two of the most popular City Parks are
Duthie and Hazlehead Parks.
The recently refurbished Duthie Park
has undergone a major programme of
works over the last few years which
has brought it back to its former
glory. Of particular note to parents
Hazlehead Park is a large, heavily
wooded area on the outskirts of the
city catering to the sports enthusiast,
walkers, and people who generally
enjoy spending time outdoors. Around
the park are football pitches, golf
courses, pitch and putt and woods
for walking. Within the park itself
you will find rose gardens, azalea and
rhododendron borders, heather beds,
children’s play area, pets corner and a
maze. The park provides a home to a
significant collection of sculpture and
heritage items, rescued from various
places within the city. A large and
pleasant restaurant is open to the
public daily along with a smaller kiosk
serving hot drinks and ice cream.
Contact: Details for all City Council
parks and play areas can be found
