Duthie Park is loved by locals and visitors due to its wonderfully restored Victorian features such as the band stand, fountains, and boating ponds. The park also has an astro turf area for ball games and two play areas for children, one of which has been voted best play space in Scotland. The Park Café is also very popular with visitors.
The Winter Gardens now houses one of the most visited public indoor plant collections in Scotland and provides an oasis no matter what time of year it is! The Winter Gardens provides a unique venue for weddings and hosts an annual carol concert every December.
Duthie Park gained Aberdeen's first Green Flag Park Awards in 2013 and has maintained it ever since. The award is granted by Keep Scotland Beautiful and recognises quality green spaces. The park and The Winter Gardens are one of the regular places where Keep Scotland Beautiful and Britain in Bloom judges are taken when they visit Aberdeen for their judging.
If you like treasure hunts, nature, the outdoors or running, then you'll love orienteering at Duthie Park. A fun activity for everyone from families, to youth groups, to individuals, orienteering is an excellent all-year-round activity and is especially great for children who love exploring. The park also offers a variety of activities for schools and community groups through the Duthie Park Ranger service.
The Friends of Duthie Park is an active community group established to promote and enhance the park. The Friends group were essential in the application and securing of funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund and continue to work closely with Aberdeen City Council to ensure the continuing high quality of the park. See the Friends of Duthie Park website for more information and find out how you can get involved.
