DUTHIE PARK REVIEWS

A lovely park, with an extensive greenhouse full of different plants from all over the world. Entry is free, and it’s remarkably well managed and maintained, it’s especially impressive how they manage to contain the different levels of humidity in each section. There’s a giant frog thing which has been there for decades, and although it’s aged a bit, it still goes up and down.

Fantastic park, beautiful flower beds, 4 or 5 different play parks to suit kids of all ages, cafe is lovely and out side seating area is dog friendly, grass area for playing with a ball or having a picnic, summer seats all round the park, great stop for the ferry terminal only 3 mins away.

Gem in the south of the city. Excellent place to visit for people of all ages. Plenty to see and investigate. Great play-parks for the littlest to the biggest kids. The café is a big bonus, offering a good range of meals, sweet treats and drinks, at reasonable prices.

HAZLEHEAD PARK REVIEWS

This is an amazing park and makes a lovely family day out. It has beautiful walks, an amazing play area that is being upgraded currently, a maze, cafe and my kids favourite - the animal corner. This part does have a paid admission but it was less than £8 for a family ticket and we spent around an hour in the animal section alone. The park was busy, but is so spacious, it didn't feel crowded. The park is very well maintained and clean - if you are in the area, I would definitely recommend visiting.

My children adore the fresh Playground and ice cream. Enjoy spending quality time with my little ones and my furry friend here, especially in the summer. The rose garden gifted by the queen is stunning, a lovely and pet-welcoming spot. The recently installed playground is a favorite of mine. The children are absolutely thrilled with it. Let's hope there are more places like this in Aberdeen.

Amazing and beautiful. At the western most side of the city, yet not difficult to get there in my opinion. Plenty of space to park, you can buy some snacks inside (please dispose of your waste accordingly), and sit on a bench to enjoy the view. There is a memorial of the Piper Alpha incident, for us O&G people is quite touching.

SEATON PARK REVIEWS

Beautiful park, and it's huge! So nice to see kids playing on the equipment, adults playing Frisbee, and all the people walking their dogs. Had a very peaceful and picturesque walk next to the river in search of otters, but only managed to find a lovely swan couple. Stopped in the cathedral on the way home. Absolutely stunning. Great day and well worth the visit if the weather permits and you're in the area.

Lovely park, very big as well. There are bins around and many pathways to take. Some people do BBQs there which I think is nice. I think otters can also be found in the waters next to it. The trails are out of dirt so if you go on the rainy day they will be muddy. There is a playground for children. It’s very beautiful, definitely recommend visiting on a nice sunny day.

My favorite park in the town. It is near Old Aberdeen (King’s College, University of Aberdeen) and good place to take a walk every day. The flowers are well maintained. Plenty of space for dogs and a tidy playground for kids. The uphill at the entrance is tough but you can go around with less steeper path as well.
