Dennistoun benefits from a large Victorian park. The Park takes its name from Princess Alexandra, the wife of the future King Edward VII, who officially opened the Park in 1870. The park was established in 1866 when the City Improvement Trustees purchased the park from Mr. Walter Stewart of Haghill. Mr. Alexander Dennistoun, the proprietor of the adjoining estate of Golfhill, later gifted five acres of land to the City Improvement Trustees.
