This park and the other greenspaces within the town are the focus of our Parks & Community Greenspaces group, as we aim to enhance the town’s greenspaces to help Auchterarder become the most active small town in Scotland!

Auchterarder Public Park - New Children’s Play Park:

We were delighted to open our new Children’s Play Park on Saturday 3rd June 2023, with a fantastic celebratory event.

Auchterarder Public Park - Pocket Forest:

In October 2023, the new Pocket Forest was opened to the public. More information about this project is available here.

Mountain Bike Trail & Pump Track Update:

Our wonderful new Mountain Trail and Pump Track were both opened in late March 2025, with a community-focussed celebratory event taking place in June 2025.

Waterless Toilet Project Update:

ACSR’s new waterless public toilet was opened to the public in January 2026 - adding an important amenity to the public park.

Dunlop Park Upgrade Update:

ACSR’s latest ambitious project is to improve Dunlop Park, located just off the high street. ACSR’s Green Spaces Working Group workshop a concept design and Perth & Kinross have turned this into a detailed design. All that needs to happen now is for ACSR to raise the funding required to make the project possible!
