Background

Rosefield Park is a delightful park on a bend of the Figgate Burn. It is a popular sitting-out park, a corner of tranquillity in contrast to the busy Sir Harry Lauder Road. There is also a well-loved childrens play area, petanque court and multi use games area.

History and heritage
|
Rosefield Park is part of the grounds that once belonged to the aristocratic 18th-century mansion of Rosefield House, once the home of William Jameson, the 'Father of Portobello'. It was acquired for the Council from the trustees of the estate of J. Patterson in 1920.
