Duthie Park
Created by Lady Elizabeth Duthie in 1881 to commemorate her
uncle and brother, Duthie Park is beautifully situated on the banks
of the River Dee and draws hundreds of visitors to its colourful
floral displays and 44 acres (18ha) of grounds. The Park is famous
for its Winter Garden - an indoor garden with a spectacular array
of tropical plants and cacti - as well as its extensive rose
garden, with over two million plants, and the Japanese Garden.
There is also a boating pond, plenty of winding walkways for a
romantic stroll, bowling greens, tennis courts, a children's
playground and a restaurant. Other 'green lungs' worth visiting in
Aberdeen include Hazelhead Park, the Union Terrace Gardens and the
Johnston Gardens.
