Park and Gardens

Construction work on Lochgoilhead Community Park and Gardens began in November 2018. We are transforming an unloved area of land of around 7,000m2 into a valuable community asset. The Park and Gardens contribute to 5 of the top 10 priorities in the Community Action Plan.

With a nature pond, formal planting, raised vegetable beds, communal food growing, a heritage orchard, lawns and even an outdoor stage, the Park and Gardens has proved to be a hit with both residents and visitors. It is free for all to use and enjoy. 

From June 2023 we will provide space for local catering businesses to trade from the curling rink, increasing local dining options for  residents and visitors.

If you plan to host an event in the park, please ensure that you respect local residents and the environment and leave it litter-free and as you found it (or better!). All we ask in return is that you consider volunteering with us, or perhaps make a small donation towards ongoing maintenance. You'll find the link for donations on our home page.

The success of the project owes much to our committed volunteers and of course to the generous donation of the land to the Trust from Lochgoilhead Rifle Club.
