Craigiebank is an area of eastern Dundee, Scotland. It borders three other areas of the city: West Ferry to the east, Pitkerro to the north, Baxter Park and East Port to the south-west. The councillor for the area is the Scottish National Party's John Corrigan.
Baxter Park () is in the eastern part of Craigiebank. A £5 million refurbishment was completed at Baxter Park. Queen Elizabeth II presided over its official reopening in July, 2007.[1] In 2009, the park was awarded Green Flag status.[2]
In recent years there has been security concerns about the park after a series of violent attacks. Measures considered to increase security have been CCTV cameras, more patrol officers and better lighting.[3][4][5]
