Grant Street Park

Grant Street Park sits right on Inverness's doorstep, a proper local sports facility rather than a tourist attraction. You'll find football pitches, tennis courts, and a bowling green - the kind of place where the Highland community actually comes to play rather than pass through. It's functional, well-maintained, and completely free to wander around.

Unless you're keen on tennis or fancy a casual kick-about, you won't spend more than thirty minutes here. Families with kids who need to burn off energy might find it useful between other activities, particularly if you're staying at one of the nearby caravan parks like Ardtower or Coulmore Bay. The setting's pleasant enough without being spectacular - you get views across towards the Moray Firth, and the grass is decent.

The real value is proximity. If you're based at Bunchrew Caravan Park or Go Glamping at Loch Ness and fancy a break from driving around the Highlands, this works as a gentle afternoon stop. Bring a ball, use the courts if they're free, or simply sit on the bench for a quieter interlude. It's not worth planning a trip specifically for Grant Street Park, but it's there if you need it. Inverness itself - about twenty minutes away - has far more substantial attractions. This is fill-in-time territory, best suited to active families or anyone wanting to stretch their legs in a low-key setting.
