Leith Links

Leith Links is the main open green space in Leith, a large public park with grassy areas, play parks, paths, and sports facilities.

It’s a historic common used for recreation, dog walking, picnics, and major events — including Leith Festival Gala Day (with stalls, music, and family activities) and other outdoor gatherings.

The park features a big playground (one of Edinburgh’s largest), open lawns for events, and views across the area. It’s a relaxed spot for locals and visitors to enjoy Leith’s community vibe.
