Duthie Park was designed by the surveyor and architect Mr. William R. McKelvie of Dundee.
The park well known for the David Welch winter gardens with tropical and arid houses which contain the second largest collections of bromeliads and of giant cacti in Great Britain (after the Eden Project in Cornwall, England). It was firstly opened in 1899, but the greenhouses had to be demolished and rebuilt after storm damage in 1969.

There’s also a restaurant here where people can enjoy a hot tea or have lunch. The park often hosts social and cultural events like fund raising, sport events, children parties or art exhibitions.
