park, garden
This is a one-hectare park and is located right in the heart of the city, to one side of Union Terrace, off the city’s main thoroughfare of Union Street. It is a natural amphitheatre and used for occasional concerts and leisure activities as well as providing an oasis for relaxation in the city centre.
On the north side is a magnificent floral crest depicting the city's coat of arms. At the Union Street end of the gardens a group of mature elms, approximately 200 years old, are a remnant of a site known as Corbie Woods. ‘Corbie’ is the traditional Scots word for ‘crow’, and indeed crows nest there to this day
