Facilities Of Hazlehead Park

There is a free car park next to Hazlehead Park.

There is so much to do in Hazlehead Park for people of all ages. The open spaces, wooded grounds and flower filled gardens are a joy to walk around. The surroundings are so relaxing. There's plenty for the children - from climbing frames and swings to chutes and slides. The large play area has seats all around, so parents can enjoy a wee sit down whilst the bairns burn off their energy.

During school holidays the Council usually hold organised and supervised activities for children. These are announced on our events listing page.
