Bothwell Road Park

Hamilton Bandstand 1912, located in Bothwell Road Park, Hamilton, South Lanarkshire

Bothwell Road Park is a large public park in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, Scotland, which dates from 1894. It is located between the Hamilton West and Whitehill areas, around 1 mile (1.6 km) north of Hamilton town centre.

It is also known as Hamilton Public Park.

The Hamilton Cenotaph is located within the park, as well as a traditional bandstand, erected in 1912, which is a category C listed building.[1] There are also areas of ancient woodland and a children's play area. Until recently the park included a small play pond and a sandpit, although, sadly, these were demolished by South Lanarkshire Council. The National Cycle Route 74 passes the front of the park, following Bothwell Road.
