The Meadows

From Freepedia

The Meadows is a large public park in Edinburgh, Scotland, just to the south of the city centre. It consists mostly of open grassland, but is also home to children's playgrounds, tennis courts and a public links course. In the summer it is one of the host venues for the Edinburgh International Festival, such as the annual Fringe Sunday.

It is bordered by the University of Edinburgh's George Square campus and the old Edinburgh Royal Infirmary complex to the north, and Marchmont to the south. Being one of the few flat stretches of open land in the central area of the city, it is occasionally host to public protests and rallies, including the 225,000-strong Make Poverty History march on July 2, 2005.
