I am great fan of large open spaces and the Meadows fits that bill. Summer softbal practice? Check! Barbeque with friends? Check. Jogging? Check! Dog friendly? Great for families? School trips? Triple check!\n\nThere are times that they host a circus or a foodie festival and charity events. This place has it all and it is so easy to get to as many buses from the City come close. Though it is only a 15 -20 min walk from Princes Street. \n\nThis park is good for every season, but I prefer a good picnic in the summer.
