Balgay Park is a public park located in the Balgay area of Dundee, Scotland. The park encompasses Balgay Hill which is the smaller of the two hills in Dundee at 146m, with the larger Dundee Law 2.6 miles away. Both hills are visible from each other.

Balgay Park is known for its scenic woodlands, walking paths, and the prominent Mills Observatory situated at the summit of Balgay Hill. Established in the 19th century, Balgay Park remains one of Dundee's oldest and most beloved green spaces, offering both recreational and educational opportunities for locals and visitors.

Balgay Park is also connected to Lochee Park and Victoria Park, two popular Dundee parks.[1] Victoria Park is accessible via a footbridge that spans the Lochee Road. This bridge allows visitors to traverse between the two parks, expanding access to green spaces and recreational areas in the city.
