There's a lake and picnic benches (and in the warmer weather a mini train!). · via Google [Tabitha Smith](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112728126490984775459/reviews) ★★★★★ The update to this park is absolutely fantastic! There's so much to do and every piece has been chosen and created with all ages of children in mind... maybe some adults too 🤭 We came to celebrate a 5th birthday with a group of friends and stayed all day, wven when it started to rain! The miniature railway is fantastic for for £3 and there's so much to spot on the wee journey it takes! All adults agreed that it was one of the best parks in the north and with plans to return again soon. · via Google [Paula D](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/104441844272566812754/reviews) ★★★★★ I loved Whin park. We stopped there after visiting Inverness botanic gardens. We had lunch at one of the many picnic benches. It was so nice sitting next to the duck pond which was full of baby ducks, it was like "duck nursery" as there were no adult ducks around, just ducklings playing 🦆🦆. The children's play park looked so much fun, one of the best public kids play parks I've seen, lots to do for the wee ones. There are loads of slides, swings, roundabouts you cycle, things to climb/jump on, made me wish I was a kid again. There are no dogs allowed in Whin park which was nice as there was no chance of stepping in something nasty. There is a boating pond but it was closed when we were there. If you go through the park and out the other side it brings you out on the banks of the river Ness, there is a nice walk along the riverside (not a proper path though, just where people have made a path overtime). There are toilets and plenty of parking · via Google [Bharat Panwar](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/103218257606540459093/reviews) ★★★★★ Beautiful palace surrounded by trees and Ness River worth to visit as there is a long walking path. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x488f73e063d639f5:0xdee25839db82976!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) People say this park offers a spacious and well-maintained play area with diverse equipment, including slides, swings, and a Loch Ness monster-themed structure.
