Hazlehead Park.

This large and multi functional park was voted Best Park In Britain,2004,and is situated beside the school offering recreational, educational and sporting opportunities.
The land on which the park has developed is of historical interest as it lies upon 180 hectares of ground, which was gifted to Aberdeen City by Robert The Bruce as part of the Freedom Lands in 1319. It has been developed offering a variety of environments: heavily wooded areas, open grass areas, golf courses, football pitches, play areas and floral gardens.

Wooded Areas

Large areas of forested land have been retained and are managed in order to encourage and retain wildlife in their natural environment. Paths have been laid extensively throughout these woods and are popular with runners, walkers, naturalists and dog walkers. In many areas separate tracks have been laid for the many horse riders who also enjoy the tranquillity of the ancient forest.

Park
The main area of the park is a popular destination for the residents of Aberdeen and further afield. It offers a large and safe children’s play area with extensive grass areas, crazy golf, pet farm and aquarium. A full size maze is the oldest hedged maze in Scotland. A cafe with its ornamental pond is a popular meeting place in the summer months.
rugby and shinty and also host many events throughout the year with the annual Highland Games being the largest.

Throughout the year the park is a riot of colour. In the early spring parts of the grass are blanketed by crocuses whilst later the borders of the park are ablaze with the colour of azaleas and rhododendrons. A different tone is set by the large beds of heathers and conifers which are interwoven with paths and retain year round interest.
In the summer two large rose gardens scent the air. The Piper Alpha Memorial Garden commemorates those lost in the disaster of 1988 and The Queen Elizabeth Garden lies beside it.
