About Oxgangs Brae/View Play Area
The Oxgangs Brae/View play area is a City of Edinburgh Council play space in the Oxgangs neighbourhood in the south-west of the city. It provides play for toddlers and juniors within a local green space serving the surrounding housing. As a free, open neighbourhood play area it offers a convenient spot for younger children to play close to home, rather than being a large destination park. It forms part of the council's wider play provision across the Oxgangs and Colinton Mains area, which has seen investment in play facilities in recent years. The play area is managed by the City of Edinburgh Council's locality team and is freely accessible throughout the year. Its straightforward toddler and junior equipment makes it a useful everyday play stop for families living in the Oxgangs Brae and Oxgangs View area, close to home and easy to reach on foot, complementing the larger play provision at nearby Colinton Mains Park and the Pentland Community Centre for a bit of variety across the neighbourhood.
