Hogganfield Park was declared a Local Nature Reserve in 1998. Small ponds and marsh have been created on the eastern side of the Reserve. They are particularly attractive in summer with the flag iris, reedmace (seen here) and rushes. A wide variety of birds and other wildlife can be seen within the LNR. Hogganfield Loch can be seen in the distance, as can the Red Road Flats beyond.
