Polkemmet country park is on the outskirts of Whitburn in West Lothian. It is smaller than Beecraigs Country Park, however, if you have a day with good weather then you could make a whole family day out here. Grab a picnic blanket and enjoy your lunch on the lush green grass near the play area and enjoy an outdoor day out.

Dog at Polkemmet Country Park

You will find trails for walking and biking, a great play area for the kids to run about and lots of grass for some family games (football, rounders etc). The Scottish Owl Centre is also located at Polkemmet Country Park so this could be incorporated into your free family days out in West Lothian too.

If you’re into your golf you could take the kids to the driving range or Polkemmet golf course if allowed.

No matter what the weather there are plenty of things to keep the whole family entertained for a good few hours to even a full day out at Polkemmet park.

If you like Parkruns then Polkemmet parkrun does usually run on a Saturday but is currently stopped due to COVID. Keep checking directly for when this will start back as it was very popular.
