The Meadows, Public park in central Edinburgh, United Kingdom
The Meadows features wide grass fields crossed by tree-lined paths, tennis courts, and sports pitches across 47 hectares of green space.
Originally containing a burgh loch, the land underwent extensive drainage and landscaping under Sir Thomas Hope during the 18th century transformation.
The park hosts the annual Meadows Festival, which brings together local artists, craftspeople, and performers for a community celebration.
Multiple entrances connect to public transport routes, with designated areas for sports activities and facilities including restrooms and picnic spots.
The park maintains several mature elm trees and features a special walkway where historical whale jawbones once created an archway.
