Allan Park: A park of 6 hectares, almost hidden from view in a sheltered hollow between the Deeside Walkway and the River Dee at Cults. The park has woods, bog garden and cricket pitch, with the main feature being the bog garden with its wide variety of marsh and water plants. This park was gifted to the community to mark Queen Victoria's long reign. Hotels in Aberdeen are available for staying in Aberdeen as they offer discount and cheap rates.
Stewart Park: This five-acre park was bought by the Council from funds bequeathed by the widow of Mr. John Taylor, a merchant in the city, and opened to the public in 1894.
The park was named after a former Lord Provost of the city, Sir David Stewart. Two curios in the park are whale jaw bones presented to the park in 1903 by the Captain of the Arctic whaler Benbow, and an intricate fountain designed as a replica of an Italian lavabo which was sculptured by Arthur Taylor of Jute Street, Aberdeen.
