Craigmillar Park Association

“One of Edinburgh’s True Hidden Gems!”

Welcome to our website, which was made possible by a grant from City of Edinburgh Council South Local Development Committee. They have secured a number of grants for us since the Association was founded and we are extremely grateful for their support. We are a local community Association, with charitable status, covering the Craigmillar Park Conservation Area.

Originally the Association was formed in 1997, by Ian McLean, our first Chairman, to try to preserve the Playing Field in East Suffolk Road from development.  At that time there was an application to build 58 units on the field, which would have involved the permanent loss of this valuable green space, as well as the demolition of the picturesque Pavilion as a hard fight but with the help of all those who objected we finally won.
