Originally known as Figgate Moor this wetland is home to a wide array of waterfowl which can be easily viewed from the boardwalk which skirts the pond and Figgate burn. The park is a great favorite with joggers and dog walkers, but also offers wonderful views of Arthur's Seat and Duddingston village. There is a lovely picnic area, a beautiful wildflower meadow and children's play park, but the real attraction is the varied wildlife. Birdwatchers should make a bee line for this Green Flag winning park which is home to swans, moorhen, mallards and heron, to name but a few.
