The Meadows
This expansive public park south of Old Town separates the city center from the leafy neighborhoods that popped up in the 18th and 19th centuries. Tree-lined paths crisscross playing fields, whether soccer, rugby, or cricket, with plenty of additional space for having a picnic or flying a kite. The park dates to the 1700s, when a loch here was drained. At the far western end of the Meadows is Bruntsfield Links, a short-hole golf course which has a hallowed place in the history of the sport and can still be played today during the summer.
