Ferniehill Community Park

A well maintained, secure and clean park. I grew up in the area in the late 70's/early 80's and this Park was always the hub for local children. It's lovely there is still a green open space local people can gather to take their kids, walk the dog etc. It boasts fantastic views over North Edinburgh and is a great place to watch the Edinburgh Castle fireworks. There is a kids play park, an outdoor gym, benches and tables and is securely enclosed by a fence that runs around the perimeter. It sits on top of a limestone mine that dates back as early as the 17th century. I remember back in 2000, there was substantial subsidence which damaged a whole row of pensioners houses which subsequently, had to be demolished. Overall, a nice local park with lots of history.

Love to take my son to play.

My Grandson enjoys it here, it would be better if people closed the gates behind them though

I think I might have just passed this on Old Dalkeith Road, so not sure why you want to know. Anyway, there used to be a punk disco in the late 70s, if that's any help. Not sure if they've fixed the gap in the fence but that was a good shortcut back in the day.

Quiet place to run around. Very family - friendly. Excellent place for dogs to run around, situated in a nice neighbourhood, with nice playground.
