Duthie Playground

Tucked inside Duthie Park, this is one of those spots Aberdonians genuinely love — and it’s easy to see why. The park itself does a lot of the heavy lifting, with the David Welch Winter Gardens right there if the weather turns (and let’s be honest, this is Aberdeen, so it will). Accessibility is taken seriously here, which makes it a solid choice for families with varying needs. There’s a Tesco nearby for when someone inevitably forgets the snacks.
