A public park on the northern outskirts of Dundee, Camperdown Park comprises the house and former policies of the earls of Camperdown. Camperdown House was designed by the Edinburgh architect William Burn and completed in 1828 for Robert Duncan, Earl of Camperdown and son of Admiral Duncan who defeated the French at the Battle of Camperdown in 1797. Opened as a public park in 1946, it has a wildlife centre, with more than 300 animals, and recreational facilities including an 18-hole golf course. Camperdown Park is the largest of Dundee's parklands.
