Skills Park

Skills Park near Crieff is a sports facility where you can actually have a go at things rather than just watch. Football pitches, tennis courts, and generally the kind of place where local teams train and families come to let the kids burn off energy. It's straightforward stuff - not fancy, not trying to be Instagram-worthy, just functional sports grounds that do what they're meant to do.

You'll get the most out of this if you've got children who want to kick a ball around or you're here with a club team. It's not the sort of place to visit if you're just passing through Crieff unless you genuinely need to play something. Walkers heading for the surrounding hills won't find much to occupy them here.

Being this close to Comrie Croft and the other caravan parks dotted nearby, it makes sense as a rainy-day option or an activity to break up a longer stay. The town of Crieff itself has better draws - the Crieff Hydro if you want indoor facilities with proper leisure amenities, or head into the surrounding Perthshire hills if you want actual scenery. Skills Park does its job without fuss, but it's not why you'd plan a holiday to this corner of Scotland. Practical details like opening times and admission fees aren't readily available, so ringing ahead before you go would be sensible rather than turning up hoping.
