Parks, Gardens and Open Spaces

Perth and Kinross is a varied county - from the open and rugged highlands, to the flatter countryside of the Carse of Gowrie, to the rolling hills of Kinross-shire - there is something for everyone!

A wealth of different landscapes gives the residents and visitors to Perth and Kinross a wide selection of green spaces to visit! From the slopes of Kinnoull Hill Woodland Park on the edge of Perth, to impressive parks such as Macrosty Park in Crieff, the residents and visitors to Perth and Kinross have a wide selection of green spaces to enjoy.

Managing a great deal of this 'green space' is the Community Greenspace team part of The Public Space Management unit within The Environment Service. From Countryside sites to Parks, the Crematorium to Graveyards and from road verges to flower borders and roundabouts, the work of Community Greenspace is wide ranging and varied.

The following pages contain information on the work of Community Greenspace and the services that we can offer, as well as advice and information that might be useful to residents and visitors to Perth and Kinross.

NEWS

During hot weather it can be tempting to cool off in some of the burns, water courses and lochs in Perth and Kinross. Please remember that open water can hold hidden dangers, such as under water currents, unknown depths and, particularly in warm weather, blue green algae which can be harmful to humans and animals. We are aware that there is an algal bloom at Loch Leven currently and advise that animals and humans do not enter the water as this algae can cause health problems.
