Visiting the park
King’s Park is open all year and free to walk into. Alongside the history there is a cafe, a play park, a skate park, tennis courts and an 18-hole golf course — nearly all of them within a couple of minutes of the Pavilion.

Getting around
Stirling Council states that most paths in the park have a finished surface suitable for all users, but that some informal parts and steeper sections may not be suitable for people who use a wheelchair.
Some of the paths are unsealed and can be muddy after rain, so comfortable shoes are worth having.
The three waymarked trails all start and finish at the Pavilion. Each trail page says what the surface is like and flags the steeper sections.
