Seaton Park Tourism

Seaton Park is a well-known public park located in the old city of Aberdeen, United Kingdom. Sprawling over 27 hectares, it is situated to the north of the city, by the banks of the River Don. Founded in 1947, the park was gifted to the people of Aberdeen by Major Hay. Featuring vast open green spaces, it provides a perfect environment for picnics, walks, and recreational activities. Its walled garden, known as the Cathedral Walk, is famous for its flower beds and seasonal displays, providing a kaleidoscope of colors throughout the year. The park hosts a playground for children, sports fields, and is often the site of cross-country events. Seaton Park is also valued for its arboretum, a collection of mature and impressive trees. The park's pathways are popular among joggers and dog walkers, and its location next to St Machar's Cathedral adds a historical dimension to the park's atmosphere. It connects to various nature trails, which extend towards the University of Aberdeen's campus, offering a natural retreat within the urban landscape.
