Rubislaw and Queen's Terrace Gardens are two small public gardens in Aberdeen, Scotland. Although they are referred to as two parks, they are separated only by one road which runs between the 1 hectare rectangular area it covers.
It is located between the streets of Rubislaw Terrace and Albyn Place, in the west-end of Aberdeen approximately 300 metres from the main street in Aberdeen, Union Street.
There is a fountain in the park made from pink granite and trees which are over a century old. On the Rubislaw Terrace (north) side of the park, there is a gray granite wall of small pillars along the entire side.
History
In February 1989, the City of Aberdeen District Council and the Scottish Sculpture Workshop ran a competition to design a new fountain to be built out of granite in Rubislaw Terrace Gardens, with the chosen design to receive £5,000.[1] The commission was awarded to Susan Ball, who based her concept of the fountain on the balustrades of the structures surrounding the park.[2]
In 1992, the District Council allocated £100,000 to repair the surrounding structures of both gardens due to vandalism.[3][4]
