Edinburgh Park is an out-of-town business park in South Gyle, Edinburgh, Scotland. It is west of the city, near Edinburgh Airport and adjacent to the Edinburgh City Bypass. It was opened in 1995. The layout of the park was masterplanned by American architect Richard Meier. The park has a bar/grill, nursery, and several sculptures, including busts of famous Scottish poets.[1]
Edinburgh Park railway station, which is on the Glasgow to Edinburgh via Falkirk Line, opened in December 2003. Edinburgh Gateway station on the Fife Circle Line is also nearby (15 mins walk). Edinburgh Trams began serving the park on 31 May 2014 with stops at Edinburgh Park Station, Edinburgh Park Central and The Gyle.
In 2022, the owners announce plans to greatly expand the number of sculptures and develop the park as a cultural hub as well as a business district,[2][3] starting with a movie themed bar and performance venue.[4] There are also plans to build a new 8,500 capacity indoor arena on a site within the park.[5][6][7]
