Park information

Seven Acre Park, as the name suggests, is 7 acres in size and consists of two main sections – one accessed via Stanydykehead and the other via Netherbank View. The park is sited on former farmland and was adopted by Edinburgh Council around 1999

The park has exceptional views over to Fife and many of Edinburgh landmarks including Edinburgh Castle, Arthur’s Seat, Blackford Observatory and, on a good day, the Bass Rock can be seen in the distance.

It is a wonderful place to sit in the summer months or just to relax and take in the countryside feel the park provides in the middle of Edinburgh. The play area, which includes basketball nets, is very popular with local children and their parents. The park also has picnic tables, football goals, multi-gym and seats dotted about to take in the scenery. The park also boasts a signposted woodland walk.

Ideas

Wooden animal sculptures for the woodland walk

It would be great if there were some wooden animal characters placed along the new woodland walk in the park. It would help the kids to learn about what shapes the animals are, in 3D.

Stile over wall

It would be really good if there was a stile over the wall so that parents with young children are able to get quicker and easier access to the play area.
