I visited today for the first time to see my friend in a scottish violin performance. There were many families with children in halloween outfits doing treasyre hunts. The cafe is lovely and airy with nice sandwiches and cakes. Everyone was so happy and friendly. The gardens are glorious with their autumn colour. I shall be back. It is as nice as the Botanics

One of my favourite places in Edinburgh! Always amazed that this is in a public park
Rhona Altin
Lovely walled gardens and conservatory. Huge park and playing fields and clean public toilets.

My favourite garden full of colourful flowers and great spaces to walk or just enjoy the views.
Although the garden doesn’t have a big surface but has beautiful spaces to seat, wild flowers in exterior spaces but also flowers planted every year and cared by the gardeners.
Apart of that the around the park there is a special space for skateboarders, basketball area, football area and playground area for the little kids.
It’s family and pet friendly.

Lovely gardens and park, especially in summer. Well maintained and has toilets, places to eat and drink, play park, skate park and other facilities. Well worth a visit.

Absolutely love this hidden gem! Spring is the best time of year, as it lasts about 2 months here, the flowers and trees all bloom at different times so each visit is completely different. The winter gardens are also great to sit in a warm place 🌷

I recently visited Saughton Rose Gardens in Edinburgh and was so impressed. The gardens are well maintained and beautifully landscaped. There is a wide variety of roses, shrubs and trees to enjoy. The pathways are easy to navigate and there are plenty of benches to take a break and enjoy the view. I highly recommend a visit to these beautiful gardens.

Absolutely lovely park, incredibly clean and well kept. There are free public toilets, a nice coffee shop and plenty of small walks. The play area is really good, even our 10 month old crawling son could enjoy it - there’s baby swings, a sandpit, an area for toddlers, slightly older kids then heading more towards teens. It really is an amazing free space, Scotland does such a good job of parks compared to England.
