The List

Kings Park

The Kings Park is one of Stirling's best used recreation areas, historically the park was used as the hunting ground for the Royal Court at Stirling. All the paths within the park are a sealed surface and suitable for all users. The informal path network in the wider park is not sealed and of varying steepness and therefore not suitable for wheelchair users. The path network that follows the boundary of the park provides you with great views of Stirling Castle, the city skyline and views of the Ochil Hills, Hillfoots, Cambusbarron and Gillies Hill. A large area of the park is a golf course, please keep to the paths. Various trees, wildflowers and wildlife can be seen along the way. Kings Park is within easy walking distance of many points of interest including The Smith Art Gallery, Kings Knot (also known as the Cup and Saucer), Black Boy fountain and the historic streets of Stirling leading to the castle. Tennis Courts, 'Wheelie Park' for skateboards, skates and BMX bikes, Toddler Swings, Climbing Frames, Slides, Helter Skelter, Bridges, Tyre Swing, Trampoline. Bark covered, safe playing surfaces. Toddlers play area with sand and water toys Play area is fenced off with grids at entrances to keep dogs out. There's plenty of space to run around and places to explore around the golf course... but look out for low flying golf balls. Follow the footpath up the hill past the skate park. There are good views from the park, over the fine Victorian houses of the King's Park Area and to the castle on the skyline.
