The Meadows is a large public park in Edinburgh, Scotland, to the south of the city centre.[1]

It consists largely of open grassland crossed by tree-lined paths, but also has a children's playground,[2] a croquet club,[3] tennis courts[4] and recreational sport pitches.[5] It is bordered by the University of Edinburgh's George Square campus, the Gordon Aikman Lecture Theatre, the main university library, St Thomas of Aquin's High School and the Quartermile development on the site of the old Edinburgh Royal Infirmary to the north, Marchmont, Summerhall and Sciennes to the south and Newington to the east.[1] To the south-west it becomes Bruntsfield Links where there is a free, public Short Hole Golf Course (pitch and putt).[5]
