Duthie ParkCreated by Lady Elizabeth Duthie in 1881 to commemorate her
uncle and brother, Duthie Park is beautifully situated on the banks
of the River Dee and draws hundreds of visitors to its colourful
floral displays and 44 acres (18ha) of well-maintained grounds. The
park is famous for its Winter Garden, an indoor garden with a
spectacular array of tropical plants and cacti; its Rose Garden,
with over two million plants; and its exotic and stylish Japanese
Garden. There is also a boating pond, plenty of winding walkways
for a romantic stroll, bowling greens, tennis courts, a children's
playground and a restaurant. Other 'green lungs' worth visiting in
Aberdeen include Hazelhead Park, the Union Terrace Gardens and the
Johnston Gardens.
