About Douglas Community Park
Douglas Community Park is the local green space for the Douglas housing area in east Dundee, set on open ground off Balmoral Terrace close to the Baldovie section of the city's Green Circular cycle route. It is a straightforward, free neighbourhood park built around active play. The fenced children's play area offers cradle, junior and basket swings, a multiplay unit with a slide and a swirl roundabout, giving younger children a compact, enclosed space to play. For older children and teenagers there is a multi-use games area for informal football and ball games, and an agility and outdoor-gym trail with a balance beam, rope walk, net bridge and rubber steps, which doubles as a fitness circuit for adults. The rest of the park is open grass suitable for kickabouts and running around, and its position near the Green Circular makes it an easy stop on a family walk or cycle. The park is managed by Dundee City Council, is free to enter and is open year-round. Specific toilet, parking and cafe provision is not confirmed on official sources, so visitors should plan accordingly.
