On my trip to Edinburgh, I found Hailes Quarry Park, a beautiful green spot that used to be a quarry. I loved the calm canal, the woods, and the open grass areas. There's also a playground and signs about the park's history. It's a lovely, unexpected find in the city.
We've worked very hard creating a community herb garden for you all to enjoy. Coming into the Quarry is like a different part of the world away from the hustle and bustle. Although beside a busy road, you wouldn't know it as the tree blanket out a lot of the noise.
Great park to take your dog .lots of woodland to explore and the wetlands are very unusual .it has outdoor gym playback football pitch basketball hoop picnick tables there's also a nature trail a fire pit a pond with walkway and viewing platform so kids can search for pondlife and a mountain bike trail the park is also full of natural wildlife and at night there is a clear view of the stars . Dont be put off by the area as the park is highly recommened
Beautiful and spacious. It's perfect for exercise or just going for a walk. Also, you can easily access the Union Canal from here.
Great playground and outdoor gym. There is also a forest which is fun to explore
What was once a quarry that the stone from it was used to build Edinburgh, is now a children's playground, with basketball hoop and goal posts, climbing wall, bike track, wildlife trail, outdoor gym, pond with walkway, fire pit and picnic area. It's a 1.2 mile walk/jog/run around the circumfrence, which is paved, part of the way. It's great for a short dog walk, too.
There's a new herb garden and a 'wee forest' which has just been freshly planted. All alongside the Union Canal. If you're lucky, you'll see bird wildlife and a barge on the canal. A walk in either direction will take you into the city centre or out to Ratho.
Visit the old man of the quarry too (stone carving). Legend has it, he lived in the quarry for many years, this carving was made to remember him by.

Great for star watching as it's not lit up.
And during day a perfect place to walk your dog.
Also offers a playground for kids and an outside gym.

It dosent look like much at first but it dose have a charm to it. The wetlands area is pretty different compare to other parks but ive grown to love it. Good place to spot bats at night.
