Background

A lovely public park in the Trinity area of Edinburgh . Two good play areas; a small one for toddlers and a larger one for the older children. Lots of green areas to kick a ball about and a large circular path where many have learned to ride their first bike. The park has been awarded a Green Flag since 2011, in recognition of it being a quality greenspace.
