Inverleith Park
Inverleith Park is one of Edinburgh’s largest and most scenic green spaces, located just north of the city centre beside the Royal Botanic Garden. Originally part of the Inverleith Estate, the land was acquired by the city in 1889 and transformed into a public park that now spans 54 acres. Its wide open lawns, tree-lined paths, and boating pond offer a peaceful retreat with panoramic views of Edinburgh Castle and the Pentland Hills. The park is well-equipped for recreation, featuring football and rugby pitches, tennis courts, a petanque area, and a children’s playground. A dedicated allotment area in the northwest quadrant continues the site’s agricultural legacy, while the Sundial Garden and wetlands pond add charm and biodiversity. Popular for community events, dog walking, and seasonal celebrations, Inverleith Park remains a vital part of Edinburgh’s urban fabric—welcoming locals and visitors alike to enjoy its blend of natural beauty, history, and leisure.
