About Baxter Park
Baxter Park is one of Dundee's many parks and it is fair to say that it is perhaps one of the best tended to as its always a beautiful and clean space. The 38 acre park donated to the citizens of Dundee by Sir David Baxter and his two sisters Mary Ann and Eleanor and was constructed over two areas of ground, the lower Park being a field and the upper, a disused quarry, which was filled in for use as a part of the construction.Address : Arbroath Rd, Dundee DD4 6NL, UK
