About Granton Crescent Park
Granton Crescent Park is a City of Edinburgh Council community park in Granton, in the north of the city. It offers a children's play area for toddlers and juniors set within a green space that also includes community woodland planted to mark the millennium, along with seating. The park sits on high ground and enjoys views across the Firth of Forth. As a free, open neighbourhood park it provides a local spot for younger children to play and for residents to relax, and is served by Lothian Buses routes 19 and 47. It is managed by the City of Edinburgh Council's north-west locality team. The combination of a play area, maturing woodland and open outlook over the water makes it a pleasant local green space for the Granton community, freely accessible throughout the year. The woodland has matured since being planted, adding shade and wildlife interest, while the elevated position gives the park an airy, open feel. It offers a quiet, everyday place for younger children to play close to home in an area of north Edinburgh that has seen significant regeneration.
