Following the Met Office’s Red Warning for wind, and closure of all our venues on Friday 24th January, East Ayrshire Leisure Trust want to remind customers that our outdoor spaces and path networks including Dean Castle Country Park should be avoided due to the very dangerous conditions and significant risk of injury. The Red Warning is currently in place from 10am-5pm with an Amber Warning in place prior to these times. The car park at Dean Castle Country Park will be closed from 5pm tonight to take account of these risks and the full venue/park will be closed throughout Friday, from 6am. Staff are closely monitoring the situation and will reopen the park on Saturday following inspection. Any changes to this will be communicated via the website/social media so please look out for any updates.
Dean Castle Country Park is a fantastic free day out for all the family. The country park, covering over 200 acres, is nestled in the heart of Kilmarnock and offers something for the whole family to enjoy.
Explore the recently renovated 14th century castle which houses world class collections and find out more about its rich and bloody history!
Drop into the Visitor Centre to relax in the Treehouse Café while enjoying views over the country park. The Cafe is open daily from 09.30am - 3.30pm, Mon - Sat and 10.30am - 4.30pm on Sundays.
Visit the Rural Life Centre where you can learn more about sustainable living and enjoy some beautiful woodland walks, learning more about the history of the estate and spotting local wildlife along the way before letting the kids burn off some energy at the Adventure Playground.
