1 / 3Montgomery Street Park
📍 Scotland
Renovated neighbourhood park in Edinburgh between Easter Road and Leith Walk. Playground, basketball court, football area, and grassy open space. Adjacent parking and full wheelchair access throughout.
Great wee neighbourhood park, ideal for springtime and summer evenings - pretty well maintained on the whole and recently has had a new tarmac path and sleek new benches installed on north side of grassy area. Used to bring my kids here for the swing park over 25 years ago, and now it’s handy for kicking a fitba around or taking a seat in the Leith sunshine…
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with children aged 5 and up who want a compact neighbourhood park with functional sports courts. The basketball and football areas are the main draw for older children and teens. Toddlers will find the playground equipment sparse — the renovation removed swings in favour of equipment that suits older users.

“Nice park but in need of a little TLC. It has a swing park for the kids, a basketball and football court along with a grassy area used by dog walkers. It’s in between Easter Road and Leith Walk. Good location for a coffee on a spring day. Today there was a local American Football team practicing.”

“Average park. A bit small, but OK for a quick dog walk.”

Overview
Montgomery Street Park sits between Easter Road and Leith Walk in Edinburgh, offering a playground, basketball court, football area, and open grassy space used by dog walkers and sports groups. The park underwent renovation including new tarmac paths, benches, and murals. Adjacent parking and wheelchair access throughout. Playground equipment skews toward older children — the single standard swing and adaptive seat replaced the previous swing set, leaving sparse options for toddlers.
