About Hunter's Hall Park
Hunter's Hall Park is a large, flat public park on Niddrie Mains Road in south-east Edinburgh, between the Gilmerton and Niddrie areas, and is managed by the City of Edinburgh Council. The park is dedicated largely to sport and is home to the Jack Kane Centre, which provides a range of sporting and leisure facilities, along with football, rugby and hockey pitches. For families there is a small, safe play area for young children located near the main entrance, making it an easy stop at the start of a visit. Older children and teenagers are catered for by a 200-metre blue-grade mountain bike track, suitable for intermediate riders with basic off-road skills. Beyond the sports facilities, the park includes community woodlands, with a woodland path running through a wilderness area of hawthorn, elder, bramble, holly, dog rose, oak, lime and elm, and a river crosses part of the grounds. There is a car park on site, and the park is served by Lothian Bus number 14. With its wide open spaces, sports provision and woodland walks, Hunter's Hall Park is a practical choice for active families in the south-east of the city.
