Hazlehead Park on the outskirts of Aberdeen was once part of a royal hunting forest. Aberdeen Council bought it in 1920 to create an area for the city’s population. It comprises of parkland and countryside. The formal centre of the park includes two rose gardens, a maze, a memory path and several fountains and statues. It's a nice place for a short walk. If you'd like a longer walk there are several colour coded walking trails that start at the entrance.

Hiking

The park has plenty of parking, and lots of paths to explore. There are several different gardens, a cafe, and a large playpark for families.
The colour coded walks also offer longer routes to nearby woodland, and around the golf course.
