Guide to each Aberdeen park with photos, facilities such as gardens, hot houses, monuments, children's play areas, cafes, restaurants and walks
Of all the parks in Aberdeen Johnston Gardens is our favourite. We love to stroll through the paths admiring the shrubbery and plants and across the bridges over its pond to see various birds enjoying the water.
Seaton Park, pictured above, is great for young families due to the children's play area, large grassed area for ball games and river walks.

My new novel:
The Aberdeen skies are under attack from an enemy jet. It is spilling a strange yellow smoke. Minutes later, people start killing each other.
Former Royal Air Force Regiment Gunner Jason Harper witnesses this and then his wife, Pippa, telephones him, shouting that she needs him. They then get cut off. He sets straight out, unprepared for the nightmare that unfolds during his journey. Everyone seems to want to kill him.
Along the way, he pairs up with fellow survivor Imogen. But she enjoys killing the living dead far too much. Will she kill Jason in her blood thirst? Or will she hinder his journey through this zombie filled dystopian landscape to find his pregnant wife?
The Fence is the first in this series of post-apocalyptic military survival thrillers from the torturous mind of local horror and science fiction novel writer C.G. Buswell.

Hazlehead Park, near the city centre is famed for its maze, gardens, outdoor art installations, pets corner, cafe and children's play area.
The Duthie Park is the most famous and much loved of Aberdeen parks due to its hothouses, ponds, rose beds, bandstand and cafe.
Many of the parks in Aberdeen are entered into the Britain in Bloom competition each year thanks to the dedication and hard work of our Council gardeners.
Union Terrace Gardens is located just off Union Street and provides a peaceful haven for shoppers, students and other visitors. It is noted for its ornamental borders, especially the emblem of Aberdeen shaped in flowers.
Westburn Park is a lovely Aberdeen park with a picturesque burn running through the grassed area. It is popular with dog walkers and for those with young children who enjoy the slides, swings and bouncing ducks.
Straight across from Westburn Park is the beautiful Victoria Park Gardens which is noted for its large borders of shrubs and flowers and hanging baskets.
In the Ferryhill area is the Bon Accord Terrace Gardens which we love for its unique trees and rows of daffodils in the spring.
Have you seen my beautiful golden retriever Lynne out and about in Aberdeen? Ask her for a high-five! She's a Bravehound PTSD assistance dog, so we'll often be in shops, restaurants, and the cinema together.
We've written a book where I talk about growing up in Aberdeen and then joining the army to be a medic and nurse, and developing military Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
I also talk about losing my son to suicide and the therapy I have had at Royal Cornhill Hospital and grief support groups in Aberdeen.
The author, Damien Lewis, said of Lynne:
"A powerful account of what one dog means to one man on his road to recovery. Both heart-warming and life-affirming. Bravo Chris and Lynne. Bravo Bravehound."
