Local Parks - The Low Green, Ayr

The Low Green has long played a part in Ayr's history. Like many areas of urban open space it was originally used as common grazing land. This led to recreational use and so to become a major tourist attraction through the Victorian era. At this time the ground was contoured, seating was installed and the promenade created.

Today the Low Green is still a major attraction with its large expanse of grassland, encouraging visitors to picnic, play ball games or just to sit and enjoy the views.

The Low Green is the home of South Ayrshire's largest play area, suitable for all age groups. Also there are putting greens and a recently opened indoor play area for children within the Ayr Pavilion.
