"Perfect for walking the dog and separate section for the kids park"
"I still enjoy a walk in the park. Even from an early age, living in a city, you can still be in contact with nature. Seeing the trees shrubbery, and the grass lets you unwind and de-stress. Easier than joing the Foreign Legion! Luckily turning part of Overtoun Park in flats was avoided not long ago. I will always support the Ents."
"It's an awesome park having kids slides, swings and other things. There are grossy lawns and walkways as well. A good place for family picnic!!!"
"We love Overtoun Park, it's so easy to get to as there are bus stops at both ends of the park. There's a good play area for older kids, a great play area for younger kids and plenty of seating. The park is lovely to walk round and has a bike track up the back. The bike track is suitable for all ages and even includes a little area for toddlers with a fake drive through window and two mini roundabouts. The only thing I will say though is there are no toilets which is literally the only thing the park could do with."
"Lovely wee park (didn't take long to walk round) Nice green spaces Lots of benches Well equipped play park (very popular by the amount of kids when we were there!)."
