It is the former private estate of the Baillie family, who lived here for over 300 years. The old mansion house (since demolished) sat where the bowling green is today. Polkemmet has a rich and varied history, with many interesting stories behind it. The Park offers beautiful woodland and riverside walks, picnic areas with seating and barbecue facilities. Current BBQ prices and booking details are available from our Visitor Centre.
The giant aluminium 'horn', an art sculpture is located in the Park, sitting between the 4th golf green and the M8 motorway. A coloured trail leads right down to this interesting attraction.
Golf is very popular in the Park and Polkemmet can boast a popular 9-hole course with an unusual 9th hole over the river, a 15-bay floodlit golf range and putting green.
Polkemmet is also a Club Golf location, providing children with the opportunity to experience golf through a structured programme supporting early development as golfers.
The Park's Visitor Centre, housed in the old stable complex, offers a warm welcome, a craft cafe, information, snacks and refreshments.
The Park, and particularly the ancient policy woodlands, are a wildlife haven. Roe deer, fox, heron, water voles, bats and badgers all make their home here. The many Oak and Scots Pine trees provide food and shelter for the birds and squirrels. The Park even has its own white squirrel!
The Countryside Ranger Service helps to manage natural areas and wildlife, but can also arrange talks, school visits, summer events and give advice on general countryside matters.
