Johnstone & Cochrane Parks
This is situated within the hillfoots town of Alva on the A91 Stirling to St. Andrew’s Road.
Lying to the east is Johnstone Park, donated by James Johnstone in 1856. In 1922 the area adjoining this was donated by the Cochrane family and named Cochrane Park.
The park provides entertainment for all, with 3 play areas including a recent project to provide a creative new play area in the former boating pond, which combines sand and water play with some more adventurous items such as a 6m high 4 mast net climber.
Set against the magnificent backdrop of the Ochil Hills, the park has many facilities for families including picnic tables, football pitches and pleasant open space.
The park is a popular destination for nursery and school day trips. The excellent facilities include staffed toilets and ample car and coach parking.
Alva Games
The Alva Games have long been held in the park. These games include all the traditional events of a highland gathering and for the very fit, a challenging and exciting hill race to the top of the Ochils.
