Overview

A public park since early 20th Century, Hermitage Park is the main park in Helensburgh. A Regeneration Project has been taking place in recent years, which is in its final stage. ** At time of writing: The Regeneration Project is currently on pause during Coronavirus outbreak. The children's playground is also tempoarily closed at this time.

Transport & Parking

4

The Park is easy to find from Helensburgh Central Station, its a short distance, but unfortunately uphill! Come out of the station, turn right onto Sinclair Street, and just keep walking up until you reach the Parks main entrance. You can also drive. The biggest car-park is in the pier car-park at the bottom of Helensburgh, or there is street parking (be aware of parking time limits). There is a small car park at Victoria Halls, which is immediately next to Hermitage Park. If there are no events on in Victoria Halls, you'll usually get a space here. A small car-park is currently being constructed in the grounds of Hermitage Park. This has a couple of marked disabled bays.

Access

4.5

Generally accessibility around the Park is pretty good, with wide smooth paving throughout. There is a flat entrance from either Sinclair Street, or Grant Street at the rear of the park. The paths are either concrete or compacted gravel - which would be fine for wheelchairs/scooters. There are some steps in areas, these have handrails, and an alternative ramp is always found nearby. The Park is hilly, so in places, people self-propelling in wheelchairs may need assistance.

Toilets

0

At the moment there are no toilet facilities at all. A new Pavilion has been built, but is still to open. I think there may be some toilet facilities in it, but will have to update review then!

No staff, its a public park

Anything else you wish to tell us?

The new children's playground has been popular with local children! There a large flat concrete space which is proving popular for people to use on bikes, rollerskates etc. It has impressive War Memorial - though the gates to this are locked mostly Around the Park are signs giving information about it. I liked that these have an interactive feature, where you wind a handle and it plays a sound recording of someone who shares their memories or stories of the Park.
