Wilton Lodge Park is the major park in Hawick providing a range of facilities typical of a traditional public park, with its long boundary along the river Teviot and valleyside landform.
The restoration project for Wilton Lodge Park was funded by ourselves and supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, these improvements were delivered in accordance with The Green Space Strategy.
