The Park is the East end of Blackhall Forest which stretches westwards opposite Banchory on the south side of the River Dee and is bounded on the western edge by forestry tracks and roads, and the Forestry Commission legal boundaries elsewhere.
For many years it has been a popular outdoor recreation area for people in the Banchory area and the many visitors who visit the area.
The Scolty Woodland Park Association was formed in November 1995 to assist Forestry Commission in the management of the park.
