Stewart Park

This five-acre park was bought by the Council from funds bequeathed by the widow of Mr. John Taylor, a merchant in the city, and opened to the public in 1894.

The park was named after a former Lord Provost of the city, Sir David Stewart. Two curios in the park are whale jaw bones presented to the park in 1903 by the Captain of the Arctic whaler Benbow, and an intricate fountain designed as a replica of an Italian lavabo which was sculptured by Arthur Taylor of Jute Street, Aberdeen.
