Visit now

Open ground with Girvan's civic memory at its centre.

Stair Park remains a public open space beside Girvan's beach and promenade.

The town's principal war memorial stands near the centre of the park, while the former bandstand occupies its southern edge.

What you’ll find

Look out for.

  • A broad open view towards the shore and Ailsa Craig
  • Girvan war memorial, erected in 1922
  • The historic former bandstand at the southern end
  • A useful pause between the beach, promenade and southern town

Good to know

Before you visit.

  • The park is exposed to coastal wind and has little shelter.
  • Treat the war memorial as a place of remembrance rather than play space.
  • The bandstand is a restoration project and should be viewed from the publicly accessible park unless an event says otherwise.
