Patey Park

Right in the heart of Stonehaven, this is one of those parks locals actually use rather than just drive past. It’s wheelchair accessible, which makes a genuine difference for families who often find play spaces aren’t quite set up for everyone. Not the flashiest spot in Aberdeenshire, but it does the job well — kids get to run about and parents aren’t counting down the minutes. Worth knowing if you’re already in town and need somewhere to let the little ones loose.
