Usage edit

Hazlehead comprises a mixture of flats, houses and residential tower blocks. It was originally a council estate although many homes are now privately owned. The council's idea behind the Hazlehead Estate was that there should be much open space, which would be accessible to all. As a result of this, a large number of houses in the area lack a private garden. Hazlehead can be accessed by public transport a short walk from Woodend Queens Road First Aberdeen service 11 & Stagecoach services 4, 5, 6 & 6A.

Amenities edit

A large part of the area forms Hazlehead Park, which opened in 1920, having formerly been the grounds of Hazlehead House, the home of William Rose, shipbuilder.[2] It is the largest park in the city and includes a 9-hole and two 18-hole golf courses. It also has a horse-riding centre, two parks, tennis courts, golf clubhouse, playing fields, a swimming pool and a few local shops.
