‘Gasholder 1’ public park opens

We are delighted to announce the opening of Edinburgh’s new destination park in the centre of the refurbished Gasholder 1.

The completion of the restoration works and opening of the park marks a significant milestone for the £1.3b regeneration of Granton Waterfront, as an iconic landmark within the centre of the development.
The newly built 1.2 hectare park has six different zones including three play areas with a wide range of play equipment. For those out to explore the new outdoor space there is an inner ring walk going round the outer edges of the frame with a range of places to sit and relax.
In Spring 2025, there will be a celebration to officially open the park, when we will unveil the new permanent public art sculpture designed in collaboration with the community.
Permanent lighting on the frame means it will be seen brightly in the twilight hours and the frame will be lit in festive colours for the month of December.
So if you fancy a bit of fresh air over the festive break, why not pop down to Gasholder 1 and enjoy this exciting new space.
