Finlathen Park was created to form an attractive outdoor recreational facility around the Dighty Burn as it meanders through a valley between Fintry and Linlathen.

Drifts of evergeen and deciduous trees give shade and shelter around flat recreation areas suitable for ball games.

In this acrylic painting, "Finlathen Park", John captured the park on a day when the local Dundee lads were enjoying a casual game of football.
