Camperdown Park is a fantastic attraction for families that provides wide open green spaces and a safe environment for youngsters to play all year round.

The park offers many attractions including play areas, sports facilities and a wildlife centre.

It also regularly hosts special events, displays and gatherings and, over the years, many of these have involved all creatures great and small.

Today’s Dundonian features some great pictures of animals in action at Camperdown. Enjoy!
