Camperdown Country Park, often known as just Camperdown Park, is a public park in the Camperdown area of Dundee, Scotland. The park comprises the former grounds of Camperdown House, a 19th-century mansion, which was bought by the city in 1946. Camperdown Park is home to a wildlife centre and recreational facilities. It is the largest park in Dundee,[1] stretching to 400 acres (1.6 km2).[2] Over 190 species of tree are found in the park.[1][2]

Camperdown House is the largest Greek Revival house remaining in Scotland.[3] It is protected as a Category A listed building, and the park is included on the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland, the national listing of significant parks.[4]
