Baxter Park
Baxter Park comprises 38 acres of mature parkland with open views across the sweeping southern lawns to the historic glass fronted Italianate Pavilion in its centre. The site was designed by one of the great innovators and achivers of the 19th century, Sir Joseph Paxton, and gifted to the people of Dundee by prominent flax mill owners, the Baxter family in 1863.
Dudhope Park
Prior to its present use for recreation, Dudhope Park and Castle had been used as a military base until the late 1800s. The park has views across the city from its grassy slopes and Dudhope Castle, although not available for ceremonies, provides a unique and historic backdrop.
