Spacious Meadows playground with 4-5 distinct equipment sections including a sand area with diggers and buckets, zip line, and climbing structures. Surrounded by open green space for picnics, tennis courts, and running.

โœ“ Multiple play sectionsโœ“ Zip lineโœ“ Sand diggersโœ“ Open green spaceโœ“ Central Edinburghโœ“ Picnic spot

๐Ÿ† Funzaroo Verdict

Best for active families with children of mixed ages who want variety across a single visit - younger children gravitate to the sand digger section, older ones to the zip line and climbing structures. The open Meadows setting makes it equally appealing for parents who want to sit out on the grass.

โ„น๏ธ What to Know Before You Go

๐Ÿ’กToilets are just outside the playground gate rather than inside - note this before entering with young children
โฐThe small shop near the playground sells snacks and ice cream for mid-play refuels
๐ŸŽŸ๏ธClosest bus stop is Buccleuch Terrace for families arriving by public transport
๐Ÿš—Bring a picnic to use the large green space surrounding the play area

โ€œLarge playground with plenty of equipment! There are about 4-5 different sections of playground equipment here. One section has sand, which has diggers and buckets. There was a reasonable amount of benches and some shade. My son loved the zip line! They have a small shop that sells snacks and ice cream as well. There are no bathrooms inside the play area, but just outside the gate there is a well maintained public toilet. This play park is at the south eastern most corner of the Meadows; closest bus stop is Buccleuch Terrace.โ€

โ€œThis is an amazing place for all irrespective of age. You can play, enjoy the sun, eat your on the spot barbecue. This place has a playground for kids, tennis courts and a green park for your furry friends to run around. This place has a restroom if you are in need. Overall during sunny days a perfect place to enjoy the blue sky and green land.โ€

โ€œFantastic 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.โ€
