The 30 Best Park in Edinburgh

“5 stars all around. Lovely restaurant inside. The lady was so very friendly and kind, and the food was delicious and came quickly. Very good prices. Two very happy customers!”

“Absolutely love this park! The climbing frame is enclosed so feels a bit more safe for wee ones (mines is 3 years old and adventurous). Mind your timings with young children though cos when the local primary school bell goes, the park fills with older kids quickly, who run riot with no consideration for the younger kids. I don't have an issue with older kids play, it's just an observation. The wee coffee van is amazing but I've no idea what it's schedule is so it's a hit or miss if it's there. I do wish there were public toilets cos it's easy to spend hours at this park.”

“Fantastic park. When you're traipsing around the city all day looking at monuments and have a tired little person, they just want to play! This park is the perfect relaxing spot. Tables, green space, ample equipment, toilets. Ticks all the boxes.”

“We visited as a family of 6, ranging in age from 2-70. The park was suitable for everybody to visit. We went for refreshments (overpriced) in a nice cafe onsite. We went on the train round the park, which was good fun and informative. We fed the animals, who are quite tame and interested in people (lovely). We used the trampoline, soft play, go-carts, log swing, sand pit, family bikes, musical forest, big chair and gift shop. The weather was nice and the overall day was very enjoyable”

“When doggie and myself walked into the shop and started browsing we were welcomed by Godfrey. He had us on a fitting machine which measures body shape and alignment. We tried recommended bed, and the next 8 beds nearby. Then I found out about the display models very marked down. Tried the medium topped mattress and found the one! So comfy but soft on broken ribs. He listened to our plight of potentially sleeping on the carpet, offered a free airbed pillows and mattress protector. All while serving 2 other lots of customers. Very happy with Godfrey at Dreams.”

“Reasonable price for UK standards. Really lovely location with not just the church (good enough reason in itself, about 150 m away!) but a lovely ruined castle, gorgeous walks along the river in a lovely forest. Facilities good and clean.”

“The Owner was friendly and the Lady who was looking after the caravan park whilst I stayed was very friendly and helpful. (It’s terrible but after two and a bit months I’ve forgotten her name). The shower and toilet block were very new looking and clean. The kitchen was well set-up and modern also. The wifi was great in the kitchen.”

“Beautiful walks, cafe, with plenty seating outside too, in lovely open courtyard. Good quality food in the restaurant. Excellent shopping, and scenery wonderful.”

“Amazing farm in the middle of the woods. Lovely place for a day out with the kids. Lots of farm animals, a lot of nature to enjoy walking around, A new playground, a café, toilets, and picnic tables, some of them prepared to make a BBQ. We loved it! It's for free, only £2 for the parking”

“Very lovely experience, good number of animals and birds, happy to handfeed and pet some of them! Don't miss Benny and one more dog, cute furry lives”

“really nice. specially this time of the year. I go there quiet regular. the river is beautiful”

“Handed in some towels/blankets for the animals. Lovely staff and good choice of treats for my dog. My old dog was adopted from here. Great charity.”

“Excellent reception! Although we arrived early, they welcomed us warmly and prepared the rooms for us. They even upgraded our room, which was a wonderful surprise. The hotel’s location is truly fantastic, and all the staff were very friendly and welcoming. A special thanks to the young lady who received us — her hospitality was outstanding. Fahad & Maha”

“I’m writing this email to you to give a review to one of your shop assistants in your Fort Kinnaird store in Edinburgh. I was in to purchase some jewellery today and was served by Olivia Ramsay. She was very professional and helpful helping me make my purchases. I would like you to pass on that she’s a credit to your staff in the store her customer relations is second to none.

“Nice little park fenced off from dog friendly area (great if you have four legged dependants as well as two to keep happy!) Couple of nice coffee shops nearby on Ashley Terrace and convenience shop on the corner too.”

“Easy to get to from the West. Great pies on sale, staff and members are extremely friendly and helpful. Nice wee place to watch your football.”

“Great spot for a Parkrun on a Saturday at 9:30am, keep in mind the triple loop. The boardwalk by the pond is a special feature of the park. Picnic benches and casual benches are scattered around the park. It's a kid friendly place to kick a football or take the baby for a walk in a buggy. Don't forget to stop off at the playground.”

“A hidden gem just outside the city! We recently visited Braidburn Valley Park and absolutely loved it. It’s a peaceful, green space with a beautifully flowing small canal that adds to the calm atmosphere. Just 15–20 minutes from Edinburgh city centre, it’s a perfect spot to relax, clear your mind, and enjoy some fresh air away from the hustle and bustle. Ideal for a quiet walk or a short escape into nature. Highly recommended!”

“Huge Park, there are two Playgrounds, one small and one is big. The small playground is few secs away from Primary School. The Pilrig house is awesome, I find it very special. It can gets rly crowded during summer. It’s also very good for dog walkers (just pls clean up after ur dog). This park is just 2-3mins away from Pilrig Church in Leith Walk. I’d also say it’s quite maintained. I recommend this park to everyone , single, couple esp for family walking. I used to walk here almost everyday and one round is like 1k steps, walking 5 rounds can make you 5k steps. There are two bus stops near this Park, so to come here is not a problem as it’s very convenient. Coming here by car is not a problem too as it’s free on-street Parking.”

“A pleasant path for walking and running. It can get a bit crowded on sunny days, making it a little too narrow for comfortable running, but overall it’s a beautiful walk.”

“Great place for walking the dog or for taking the kids out to the park”

“Several really good walks and trails for all ages and fitness levels. There is a visitor center that sells ice cream and juice to keep you going on your walk. There's also a play park area with dedicated areas for BBQ.”

“I had a flat tyre today. Due to the nature of my job I was in a rush and needed the car urgently. They fixed it with no fuss. Not overpriced. Very polite staff at the reception as well. A huge thank you to you all.”

“Their system works well. Order on line with good help available via the reviews which I’ve always found accurate. Plus the product Q&A is pretty helpful. Collecting from the store is straight forwarded with the staff at the Murryfield branch in Edinburgh very helpful. As I’ve done a number of projects this year this review is based on ordering well over fifty separate items and making far too many visits to collect.”

“Really helpful staff and beautiful facilities.”

“Visited tonight to see the Wizard of Oz absolutely fabulous show what a great night the kids, 2 and 3, had a ball it was their first time at anything like this and the team were amazing. The venue is beautiful staff super helpful and friendly and the restraunt food was delicious well worth a visit”

“Angela at the Edinburgh store was very informative, friendly, certainly wasn’t pushy from a sales point of view. She made us feel very welcome at the store and we ordered with confidence. Great Knowledge of the product ace !”

“Craig at Specsavers, Gyle was professional, helpful and friendly when arranging for my hearing aids to be sent away for repair, and also ensured I had a temporary set to use over the holiday period.”

“The staff was superb helping us out, gave great recommendations. Short walk to the bust stop making it easy to get to downtown Edinburgh. We have camped all over the United States and now have 10 days in Scotland under our belt. This facility has the best and cleanest bathrooms/showers anywhere.”

“This is the second time I have stayed here. This visit however, was nicer. I was met with very friendly staff as always upon checking in. We were then told that we had been selected for a free upgrade to a suite and was given free parking as well as a welcome drink each and some lovely shortbread for our room. This was such a lovely surprise and made our trip even more special. The hotel is always lovely and clean, not to mention very handy for the tram. I will most definitely come back here. The staff are an asset to the place. You are made to feel very welcome and nothing is too much trouble for them. Highly recommend this hotel.”
